steve lawler placed 3 (!!) circlesquare tracks on his recent viva mix. totally wonderful stuff.
If this was meant to be a pun, it was a good one.

apparently there is a new album without a label entitled "songs about drugs and dancing"

both the ep and the album (ie his complete discog to date other than remixes here and there) are still realtively easy to pick up i think.
― mark e, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 22:36 (fifteen years ago) link
i forgot about this band (guy?). 7 minutes was the jam.
― LaMonte, Thursday, 7 August 2008 01:48 (fifteen years ago) link
there are two ep's--"the distance after" and "fight sounds"

ahh. off a hunting i must go ..

for cutty.
songs about dancing and drugs
1. hey you guys2. dancers3. timely4. music for satellites5. ten to one6. bombs away, away7. stop taking (so many)8. all live but the ending
final track is a 13 minute track.
3d cover.
[had me digging around for some old red/green glasses so i could check it properly !]
no big deviation from the circlesquare style. downbeat, spacious production, layered vocals, twang guitars, heavy bass (nearly destroyed my crappy car stereo speakers this morning)
!k7 records.
― mark e, Friday, 24 October 2008 07:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Nice to see he's landed on one of the bigger, better-distributed indies. Good for him.
!K7 are giving away an mp3 sampler with a track from this album and some other stuff (Hot Chip dj-kicks single, Quiet Village, unmixed track from the Carl Craig comp, something from the new Matthew Herbert, etc) here:

― Telephone thing, Wednesday, 29 October 2008 21:57 (fifteen years ago) link
i have the album. glad it finally found a label. i love it.
― cutty, Wednesday, 29 October 2008 22:00 (fifteen years ago) link
"hey you guys," "bombs away, away," and "stop taking (so many)" are the high points for me. but i love the whole thing except for that final track which kind of rubs me the wrong way.

not so sure about that cutty. i really like the 13 minute closer.
― mark e, Wednesday, 29 October 2008 23:41 (fifteen years ago) link
ha. my only other gripe with the record is that "ten to one" cribs the end vocal melody line from belle & sebastian's "sleep the clock around"
― cutty, Thursday, 30 October 2008 00:04 (fifteen years ago) link
thankfully i've never heard b&s so i have no such association.

VG but i know what cutty means about the last track. i find the rhythm awkward and annoying somehow.
― jed_, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 23:34 (fifteen years ago) link
actually i changed my mind about that track. i've started getting into it.
― jed_, Thursday, 22 January 2009 00:39 (fifteen years ago) link
i haven't changed my mind. i love the whole 13 minutes of it.
― mark e, Thursday, 22 January 2009 01:03 (fifteen years ago) link
great.
― jed_, Tuesday, 3 March 2009 13:09 (fifteen years ago) link
and when i say "great" i mean i haven't seen a video this good for years. so pure. amazing. really enhances the song too.
― jed_, Tuesday, 3 March 2009 13:14 (fifteen years ago) link
I love the move with his necktie for some reason. Between this, Depeche Mode and the two Fever Ray clips this is looking like a hell of a year for music videos...

nice video
the album is really, really good isn't it? develops his sound in such perfect, subtle ways...and i think the last song might be my favourite thing he's done! apart from 7 Minutes of course.
ilm needs to give him more attention for real.
― unaustralian (jabba hands), Wednesday, 4 March 2009 01:00 (fifteen years ago) link
uh guys....this album is amazing
― unaustralian (jabba hands), Thursday, 5 March 2009 10:28 (fifteen years ago) link
BTW : i'm not so sure if this is common knowledge, but there is an extra track available for the new album.the track is called "dark matter(s)"unfortunately, it's still only officially available from itunes (i think). in the words of the man himself : "it was originally track #8 after Stop Taking, but I took it off as I thought of all of them, it could easily exist on it's own... and that way it kept the record under an hour! "

hey mark e, are you the same mark e that did the detroit experiment remixes?

gosh. some ilm love. feels rather strange.and yes, the album is very very good.

so, is it too early to dig out the circelsquare crimbo song, untitled (for christmas)answer : no. it's never too early.guess this years album didn't quite hit the spot for as many people as i'd hoped it would.shame.

I was in a local used bookstore with a small music section today and for some reason they had seven(!) sealed copies of Songs About Dancing and Drugs for real cheap. It was weird seeing so many of these mixed in with all your usual small used shop standards. Remembering FACT really liked it, I of course picked up a copy.

I very belatedly heard this about a weak ago and I LOVED it.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 10:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Except that on some weird Freudian level obv I think it's weak.
how do you mean?
the last track reminds me of classic superpitcher stuff, 'the long way' etc.

also fuck yeah!!!! @ that tumblr
― jabba hands, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 10:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Ha jabba I was just making a poor joke about misspelling "week" in my prior post. As I said I thought the track was AMAZING.
