SINGLE REVIEW: circle round a sphere - ones
Latest single ‘ones’ is another enchanting, hazy indie gem from Ireland's circle around a sphere.
With stunning, intricate guitar work and a catchy melody, they skillfully channel 90's nostalgia, nodding to jangle pop legends Teenage Fanclub. Subtle Pixies-inspired grunge nuances mingle with the swirling, ethereal dynamics of shoegaze, all laced with the dissonance of post-rock. The result is a gritty yet triumphant sound featuring infectious chords, percussive drums, chiming guitars, and mysterious distortion.
‘ones’ lyrics tell the story of blindly navigating life, missing opportunities, and being overwhelmed by the regret of unfulfilled actions.
circle around a sphere showcases dynamic musicianship, untangling elements from the past and borrowing from the music they love. They craft a diverse, engulfing soundscape that honestly captures feelings of fear, regret, and emotional turmoil with empathy and integrity.
