BAND BIO:
Circles Around The Sun’s fourth studio album traverses towards galaxies unknown – Language is the sound of a rock band rebounding from unthinkable adversity, moving as one to confidently author their next chapter. Synth-drenched excursions into outer-spatial sound design, the six-song release welcomes guitarist John Lee Shannon to the fold, a longtime peer and tourmate who joins bassist Dan Horne, keyboardist Adam MacDougall, and drummer Mark Levy.

The forthcoming release builds on the cosmic-disco vibe of 2020’s eponymous LP. The Floydian tongues on Language represent a new dawn, as evidenced by an ethereal title-track featuring harpist Mikaela Davis. The new material finds them oscillating through hybrid strains of disco-funk, soul jazz, and psychedelic rock, harnessing their stylistic lanes into a singular, intoxicating brew.

The band immersed themselves in sound design research at Horne’s Echo Park studio, Liberty Hair Farm. Longtime creative partners dove into exploration mode, probing the limitless potential of an arsenal of synthesizers, sequencers, and other vintage electronic instrumentation.

ABOUT NEAL CASAL MUSIC FOUNDATION:
Neal Casal, founding member of Circles Around The Sun, was a multi-dimensional artist with a 30-plus year career spent as a songwriter, singer, guitarist, solo artist & band member, record producer, photographer and friend. Neal tragically took his own life on August 26, 2019 at the age of 50.

In the wake of this loss, the Neal Casal Music Foundation (NCMF) was formed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2020 to honor Neal's memory. Along with preserving his artistic legacy, the NCMF provides musical instruments and lessons to students in New Jersey and New York state schools where Neal was born and raised, as well as, donations to mental health organizations that support musicians in need.

ABOUT BACKLINE:
Backline is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides mental health and wellness resources to the music industry and their families. By streamlining access to a network of trusted organizations and care providers that understand this line of work, they serve as a critical resource for music industry professionals by helping them find the resources they need to thrive — on and off the road.

Backline connects music industry professionals and their families with mental health and wellness resources—streamlining access to a network of trusted organizations and care providers that understand this line of work. They’re a critical connector for touring professionals who often lack the resources they need to address mental health and wellness needs.

Goddamn enchanting music right there.. I'm so happy I found this band. Anytime a clavinet, harp and gold sequined jacket are in the same room, you know you're in for a magical time. BTW- Who's more of a vintage keyboard nerd Adam MacDougall or Roger Manning?

[zulufrog]

Dan's sporting a pretty badass jacket.

[DanGross_MusicJournalism]

Rochester's own Mikaela Davis on the harp!

[mattjadencarroll]

16:02 okay this melody is definitely from a 90s pop song, argh, what is it?

[marknail]

Nice…improv band, like to sit in & trade some guitar licks with the key’s…oh it’s really sounding good now at about 19 min marker.

[ErikShen]

NO ALEMBIC BASS?? WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??
