Downtempo fave
Circlesquare will return to the big stage next year.
The producer, who is better known as Jeremy Shaw, will release
Songs About Dancing and Drugs, his first full-length in five years on K7. Shaw, who was one of the stalwarts of the defunct Output label, made his name with 2003's
Pre-Earthquake Anthem. It was a record suffused with the songwriting of an artist that had grown up listening to rock and had turned to the tools of electronic music to realize his slow-burning torch songs.
If the press notes are to be believed,
Songs About Dancing and Drugs is set to be more of the same: It's "beaten down, scuffed-toe bass meditations wrapped in desert blues and dub delay—ambient music with an anti-pop brain and a rock'n'roll heart." Sounds good to us.
