Circuits: 'City Of Lights' (Try Science) Phil reckons they sound like The Police, maybe it's the sub cod-reggae stylings. One of the few bands of the current crop of young pretenders to actually wear their political views on their sleeves. As with much white boy reggae you kinda get where they're coming from immediately ...Where they're going, well your guess is as good as mine.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
A crashing cut of politico-pop and a driving slab of dancefloor rock make up the new Circuits double a-sided single City Of Lights / Before Its Over, released on Try Science on November 26th.
Painting social alienation - and in particular the Paris riots – in spiky angst pop on City Of Lights, and producing rhythmically adept mosh inducing rock on Before It’s Over; Circuits deliver compelling, crowd pleasing pop music complete with a knowingly compromised 21st Century conscience.
Circuits land their punchy and infectious indie pop on the helipad of an avid fan base. With irresistibly energetic live shows, online blog banter and a bottomless bag of floor filling tunes, Circuits have produced a succession of now sold out singles on their own label Try Science.
The last single Young Enough Not To Care was propelled onto the XFM playlist and up to number 14 in the Indie singles chart. The forthcoming album Bright As Midnight was recorded in an intense 9-day session at Rak studios in September, and will be released next year.
Currently on tour with Mooney Suzuki, the band will support Nightmare Of You in December, with November tour to be announced soon:
