Midwest-raised, Los Angeles-based band Line And Circle formed in the summer of 2008. After playing shows regularly over the ensuing several months, early recordings found their way into the hands of noted alt-rock drummer/producer Joey Waronker (REM, Beck, Thom Yorke). With Waronker enlisted as producer, the band soon commenced a new series of recordings, assisted by engineer Darrell Thorp (Radiohead, Air) and string arranger Lewis Pesacov (Foreign Born, Fool's Gold). The new tracks marry the band's melodic acumen with an increasingly sophisticated sense of arrangement. Lush strings, chiming guitars, and aging upright pianos lay a foundation atop which harmonium, junk shop keyboards, and white noise are layered. Tension is built with ambitious detail--rhythmic flourishes and countermelodies abound. Yet the material retains the raw immediacy and bluster of the group's most revered influences.
