Last night i went to see the local new wave band, Circlesquare, play a show at the media club. The genius behind this dark, downbeat electronica, Jeremy Shaw describes his sound as “inciting slow-motion riots in imaginary suburban landscapes where all the electric buses are white and a nation of detached romantics feel very much at home. Best heard from the floor”.
The slow, throbbing synth bass-lines, blended with snatches of guitar sounds and discordant beats, was synced with experimental video montages of urban landscapes to earthquakes to fist-fights.
Being a filmmaker, interested in experimental practices, this performance sure as hell had me hooked from start to finish. The pure beauty of each person’s individual experience watching the show, is amazing. This is why i love artists who leave a little room for imagination.
