CIRCLES // THE STORIES WE ARE AFRAID OF | VOL.1 - CD
CD Jewelcase (incl. 8 page booklet)
RELEASE DATE: 25/11/2022
Melbourne prog/alt metal giants Circles mark their momentous return with ‘The Stories We Are Afraid Of | Vol:1’, the first EP release of an epic 2 part EP, out via Wild Thing Records on November 25th, 2022.
In the midst of being in the longest locked down city in the world, the group found solace in writing the next chapter of the Circles story. Following on from the major international success of album The Last One (2018), the resulting Vol:1 EP showcases the band’s evolving sound; exemplified by innovative songwriting nous coupled with subtle technicality, whilst also demonstrating familiar elements that have attracted a loyal global fanbase over their extensive career.
Vol:1 displays Circles’ direct and textured approach to alt/prog/metal to full effect, soaring with their artful and sensitive exploration to songwriting. Whether they’re marching through angular heavy riffs, tip-toeing across delicate electronics, or bobbing in subtle clean waves, the band takes you on an unforgettable journey that demands attention. With overarching themes of loss of identity and purpose, converging with trying to recapture one’s wonder and passion, Circles have crafted a modern tapestry of heavy music with plenty of wider appeal.
The Stories We Are Afraid Of | Vol:1 is produced and mixed by Circles’ own Ted Furuhashi (Twelve Foot Ninja -Silent Machine), with its music videos directed by Circles’ David Hunter (Caligula’s Horse -Slow Violence), and mastering duties handled by Luke Cincotta (Karnivool -Asymmetry)

lyrics
Close, so close
A voice in the echo, it won’t let me let go
Closing in
Whispering in my ear
When you move, you falter when you hope you can hide from below
Oh, it’s coming, I feel you
Maybe my sins are catching up with me
And all the lies I held too close
Maybe my love just don’t mean anything
We’re gonna find you, we’re gonna find you
Time stands still inside my own shadow with nowhere left to go
I drive, you steer, how am I meant to heal?
When you move, you falter when you hope you can hide from below
Oh, it’s coming, I feel you
Maybe my sins are catching up with me
And all the lies I held too close
Maybe my love just don’t mean anything
We’re gonna find you, we’re gonna find you
Oh, you falter when you hope you can hide from below
Oh, it’s coming, I can feel you
You may be unbreakable
Maybe my sins are catching up with me
And all the lies I held too close
Maybe my love just don’t mean anything
We’re gonna find you, we’re gonna find you
Maybe my sins are catching up with me
And all the lies I held too close
Maybe my love just don’t mean anything
We’re gonna find you, we’re gonna find you
Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform.
Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next. quantumquail
Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ
Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.” Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
Me encanta este album porque refleja el gran esfuerzo y dedicacion que Daniels ha hecho en su carrera, y se nota lo mucho que le gusta. Las personas no se comprenden al 100% entre realidades, pero la música es un lenguaje indescriptible. Felicidades Dan, te lo has ganado. dxgrid
