Album of the week: April 1 – Squaring Circles

April 1st 2019

Experimental Melbourne duo Squaring Circles step out of the ether on their debut record, Motion. A swirling, slow motion kaleidoscope of free form jazz, textural psychedelia and analogue electronica, Motion is Squaring Circles’ attempt at capturing and embodying the spirit of musical spontaneity, an eight track exercise in throwing genres and moods up against one another in cathartic collision. Motifs, melodies and rhythms gradually reveal and release themselves across the record’s meditative runtime, hypnotically dissipating as soon as they develop. Motion is music at its most immersive, an invitation to step into Squaring Circles’ deliberately slow and pensive ether, to pause and consider what surrounds us.
