Those who have yet to experience Russian Circles can get ready to be dazzled, expect a concoction of metal trimmings, minimal jazz primers, cryptic riffs and lumbering layers of chiseled post rock and feathery psychedelic infusions have both revved and enticed the listeners into mental orgasms the world over.
Their self titled and self released EP from 2005 sold out shortly after their initial pressings. It wasnt long before their 2006 debut long player, Enter, dropped with a booming impact and saw them sharing the stage with the likes of Tool, Dalek, Daughters and Pelican.
And now comes Russian Circles second full length album entitled Station. Produced by Matt Bayles, Station is due for release on May 6th 2008 on Suicide Squeeze Records. Joining Sullivan and Dave Turncrantz (Drums) on the recording was These Arms are Snakes / Botch bassist Brian Cook with Morgan Henderson of The Blood Brothers also lending his skills on double bass to the track Xavii.
While Russian Circles are picking up where they left off with Enter, Station is guaranteed to be a new passage for a band already known for paving their own unique paths of sonic tundras that jolt the mind and body and will not only leave its mark on 2008 but on the future influence of music as a whole.
