Circles Around The Sun Announce New Album & Tour Dates
Psychedelic-jam-rock-experimental group Circles Around The Sun have officially revealed the details of their fourth full-length studio album, Language, set to release this coming spring via Megaforce Records. The group – comprised of Adam MacDougall (keyboards & synths), Dan Horne (bass), Mark Levy (drums) and John Lee Shannon (guitar) – has released a new single alongside the announcement of the album. Listen to “Outer Boroughs” HERE.As guitarist John Lee Shannon explains: “‘Outer Boroughs’ was initially composed when the track emerged from an impromptu jam in the studio around a four-chord sequence Adam was playing around with. Dan’s bassline is one of my favorites, and is unusual in that he initially heard the ‘1’ in a different place than intended, giving extra emphasis to the downbeat of the second measure.” He continues, “It’s a breezy groove that paints several landscapes in vivid color before departing into deep space for an extended middle jam. Originally titled ‘Ouroboros’ for its cyclical nature, it was later changed to “Outer Boroughs” for a bit of mondegreen and a nod to the greatest city in the world.”On Language, Circles Around The Sun plan to traverse even deeper into the annals of outer-spacial dance grooves that first surfaced on 2020’s self-titled release. 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.TOUR DATESDec 29, 2022 – Roanoke, VA – 5 Points Music SanctuaryDec 30, 2022 – Winston Salem, NC – The RamkatDec 31, 2022 – Richmond, VA – The National *Jan 20, 2023 – Albany, NY – Lark HallJan 21, 2023 – Brooklyn, NY – Brooklyn BowlJan 22, 2023 – Ardmore, PA – Ardmore Music HallJan 25, 2023 – Pittsburgh, PA – Thunderbird Music HallJan 26, 2023 – Harrisburg, PA – XL LiveJan 27, 2023 – Asbury Park, NJ – Wonder BarJan 28, 2023 – Fairfield, CT – StageOneJan 29, 2023 – Cambridge, MA – The Sinclair* with The Infamous StringdustersMore info: circlesaroundthesun.com.
