Circles announce new EP ‘The Stories We Are Afraid Of | Vol. 1’
CIRCLES have announced a new EP!
Titled The Stories We Are Afraid Of | Vol. 1, the upcoming EP from the Australian alt-metal band is the follow-up to 2018’s The Last One and is scheduled to be released in November this year via Wild Thing Records.
Speaking about the upcoming EP, frontman Ben Rechter states, “The overarching theme of Vol.1 is one of a loss of identity and purpose, and trying to recapture a sense of wonder and passion for life that was once a core part of you. Musically, we went into these writing sessions with a focus on being more direct than on previous albums, steering away from crowding songs with heaps of different riffs for the sake of having more riffs that we personally like in there.”
Alongside the announcement of the EP, the band have released a new music video for the EP’s latest single Dig, which follows the release of Sleepwalking earlier this year.
Speaking about the new song, Rechter adds, “This is all about those first steps out of that dark hole. Your mind fights against you, and everything feels like it’s not going to work, but it’s not necessarily about success, at least not in the beginning. It’s about starting to change what you need to change, even if on the first day, all you can do is make sure you step outside and see the sun.”
