Circulatory System (Reissue) (CD)
Circulatory System is a new project of W. Cullen Hart of The Olivia Tremor Control. He is joined on this album by several of his former bandmates, as well as masterful collaborators such as Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel. After touring the globe with bands like Stereolab, Beck, Super Furry Animals, and R.E.M., Will returned to his home studio in Athens to create his most personal and intimate album to date. Twenty-two sweet and melancholy song cycles bathed in hazy layers of dimension. Fuzzed-out rock decorated with unique instrumentation.

| The self-titledalbum by THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM certainly reflects a progression of the sounds inherited from it's founding artists; the band is comprised of members of neutral Milk Hotel and The Olivia Tremor Control, but tends to sway more towards a combination of the psychadelic sounds of late Beatles albums and the poppy emotion of the Beach Boys. The band uses an intriguingly large variety of instruments and synthesysers in this album, not unlike either of the founding artists. Regardless of whether or not this is a one time effort on the part of these musical innovators, it would be oh so lame of you not to like this one. | |
