Add Date: November 16
Artist: Soft Circle
Album: Shore Obsessed
Label: Post Present Medium
Genre: Defies classification, experimental
Comments: From the promoter: "Soft Circle started as the solo project of Hisham Bharoocha, and where to start about him? Bharoocha is a half-Japanese, half-Indian visual artist as well as a musician. After brief stints as a member of outfits like Lightning Bolt and Black Dice, Bharoocha also played in Pixeltan and organized the 77-drummer event Boredoms had in 2007. For his second album as Soft Circle, entitled Shore Obsessed, Hisham Bharoocha enlisted the aid of guitarist Bemjamin Vida, fleshing out his sound and adding pop elements... Soft Circle now sounds like Buddha fronting Battles, with gorgeous chanting vocals riding stuttering and looped dance rhythms."
There's a trancy, experimental, repeating and looping quality that keeps this record in the experimental zone, but enough pop sensabilities to sway nervous listeners over to his side.
