One of the downfalls of any festival is the fact that you generally don't watch full sets from any of the bands. Maybe if you really love them you choose to miss another band in favor of that set but it's rare and can be costly especially if you're trying to see everything. Circulatory System got a little shafted by this as I was darting around trying to do too much, but seeing two songs from t...

Well, well. It has been a seriously trippy two and a half months, and I awake to see a Mog-o-shfeer I hardly recognize (indeed, let me tell you younguns about the days when we used to say "Mog-o-sphere," "twenty-three skidoo" and "somebody get all these f'ing dodo birds out of my driveway"). Still and all, it is good to be back, and I hope I can get an amen out of the two of you who read this.O...

My review of Signal Morning, the first Circulatory System album in eight years, is online at the Tucson Weekly:Eight years have passed since its first album, and Circulatory System is back with its sophomore release, a hectic and sonically dense collection that pushes the band's experimental side to the forefront. Will Cullen Hart again occupies the center of the Circulatory System. Instead of

Here's another song by this sonorous collective, with cover art by W. Hart:You're using headphones right...

Ok I'm beginning to get a bit restless. They pulled this shit back in '04 when they supposedly had a new album coming out; NOW it's '07 and still no new album. Oh yeah and the same damn message has been on their website for about a year: " They are currently recording a new record to be released in 2007." Well forgive me for being a little skeptical but these guys are obviously atrocious at k...

MP3: Circulatory System - "Overjoyed" from Signal Morning, due September 8 on Cloud Recordings. There's so much going on in this song that it can be initially overwhelming. On first listen you might think it sounds like when you've accidentally...

Signal Morning is not only a vital part of Elephant 6's continued excellence; it's one of the best damn albums of the year.

Photo/Daniel Peiken AthensRockShow.comHOLY CRAP! There's always a lot going on in Athens but our bands have been making some racket out there lately in the national press. First up, Athens has been named one of America's best college towns by MSN Travel. You might remember the cool photo taken by our very own Chris McKay at the surprise R.E.M. 40 Watt gig a few years back. Yes, the article tel...

With eight years of silence and with no real hype preceding it's release, Circulatory System's second coming has arrived. Signal Morning follows on from their 2001 self-titled début and is basically just one huge amalgamation of varying psychedelic, lo-fi, rock and electronic elements.

I was excited to listen to this new Circulatory System song because I saw it features Jeff Mangum (of Neutral Milk Hotel). After listening to the whole song, I was left scratching my head (balls). I don't hear Jeff Mangum. Oh, what's that? Oh, okay, so you got Jeff Mangum, one of the most unique and distinguished vocalists in his genre on your track? To play the fucking drums? Good move, guys. ...

Imagine when the Beatles hit their experimental phase they decided to really go way OUT THERE and stray far from their pop chains - the result might sound like Circulatory System’s Signal Morning. This album has pop song aspirations but they get sliced, diced, mangled, and re-sewn by the mad composer that is W. Cullen [...]
