I have only just discovered Circle. Its hard to describe them but I find their extremely varied back catalogue really exciting.
They appear to have two personas. One live and one studio based.
Live they are easier to describe. Kraut/Prog/Psych/Heavy rock is what they peddle live. Its wonderfully original whilst wearing its influences proudly. There are moments of early Amon Duul II, Judas Priest, The Grateful Dead and even Opeth. They enjoy performing hypnotic, drawn out songs with monotonous, motorik riffs. If this sounds like your thing then believe me these guys are amongst the best at what they do.
Then there are their studio efforts. Whilst you get the same as their live offerings the exploration in the studio is off the charts! They have gone in every direction imaginable. If you like highly creative bands that confound you with bizarre releases just as you think you have them nailed then Circle must surely win a place in your collection!
This live album is a great place to start and contains one of my fave songs so far - Rakautta al Dente.
I highly recommend this band! Circle are contenders for discovery of the year. Double thumbs up! Crinklechips
Krautrock collides with psych on this rip-roaring EP from El Universo, which pits jagged guitars against lockstep rhythms. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 11, 2021
Psychedelia at its most fundamental, the new EP from pôt-pot is equal parts Velvet Underground, BJM, and hypnotic vibes. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2024

I was on a train travelling to Seefeld in Austria and had nothing but the Alps to look over from the windows. This was a perfect compliment to the environment I was in Robert A Johnson
