What their label says...

Very limited vinyl pressing. Seven and a half years in the making, culled from hours of recorded material sculpted in at least seven different studios, the new Circulatory System album is an absolutely stellar document of song and sound. Still concerned with matters of the inner / the outer, the incomprehensibly huge and the very, very small. An imperative blast of kinetic motion, composed by W. Cullen Hart while in the midst of battling Multiple Sclerosis within his own system - broadcasting his urgent pleas to the world(s) to evolve into a higher dimension, or for existing patterns to reveal themselves at peace within the natural order of the universe. Featuring all the members of The Olivia Tremor Control, as well as Jeff Mangum and Julian Koster of Neutral Milk Hotel. The first song, "Woodpecker", is highlighted by Will Hart and Bill Doss singing in harmony. Thick with textures, layered percussion, angular guitars, vibrating strings, woodwinds, and brass. Eagerly anticipated since the first record, with mounting excitement enhanced by tours with the Elephant 6 Orchestra, the Instruments, Pipes You See, Pipes You Don't, the New Sound of Numbers, Need New Body, and the Sea & Cake. The new tracks that were posted on the Circulatory System myspace page were immediately reviewed positively by Pitchfork and National Public Radio. The band plans on major touring when the album comes out. Press and Radio promotion by Team Clermont. Press Quotes: "With the release of Circulatory System, one of the greatest minds in pop music turned inward. Will Cullen Hart, who had explored the farthest reaches of chopped-up, texturally sophisticated pop music with the Olivia Tremor Control, brought a new level of emotion and beauty to his work, resulting in the most affecting album he's released to date. The beautiful, lush orchestration, inventive instrumentation, and fanatical attention to sonic nuances are still in full form, but now serve as extensions of Hart's inner quest to discover the nature of time, existence, and the universe. Rather than addressing these topics with far reaching metaphors and generalizations, Hart shares his observations candidly and gracefully, resulting in an album every bit as sincere as it is profound."
