We are very excited to be getting some more Seth Frightening out and about. Hard to believe it’s almost two years since the last! Hopefully these two make up for the time, and if not, we have another album very, very close to completion!

You can also check out a new interview with Sean here thanks to UnderTheRadar.co.nz.

Seth Frightening - B.Hoo /
A recent excavation revealed these three fine outpourings of spirit; Uniquely coloured and powerful forms laid down on laptops in bedrooms and hospital hallways with contagious sincerity and words tinged with protest and the fear of reality that comes alongside modern injustice and social awareness. A rare and wonderful listen!

Seth Frightening - B.Hoo / High School
Forward to the past! Here goes a wee selection of songs written and recorded in Seth Frightening’s high school days; Sincere tracks laid down in the lofi bedroom style by a wise young man, excavated from broken hard drives and still bearing the character of minidisc glitches and planes taking off in the background.

Glass Vaults - Into Clear EP
Released November 2011.
Glass Vault’s Into Clear is a pale blue sky. Half awake / Half asleep. Humming incantations. Richard Larsen and Rowan Pierce - now with the help of Signer & Skallander legend, Bevan Smith - using their usual mishmash of electronics, voice & guitars, have cast forth a new EP; This one more consistently ambient than the last, gently rubbing at your ears like a good friend (for a solid 28 minutes). Each song is a wide open space but extremely delicate; for the most part moving at a slow, almost changeless hover and then shifting subtly as if guided by a gentle hand.

Richard’s singing voice, at times breath-taking, earnestly sets the scene for each track, floating through dream-state electronics singing songs of light and fading memories. Glass Vaults give the listener three choices; engage, submit or ignore. These are hymns for no One but Everyone.

Stoner Gospel anyone?

You may have heard of Liam Kendall from his other projects such as Pan and The Story of Iceland. Pan was a fairly low key noise affair in which Liam would make sour and sweet ambient numbers which would quickly end. Music best suited for wasted shin digs below a tree. However trading in his Jag, Space echo and other delay pedals for an Akai MPD32 and a Micro Korg, Forest Spirits is born!

…. breathes heavily, panting through up beat soul fucking anthems, twisted dance beats and cascading arpeggios, Forest Spirits has produced a wonderful EP (Though at 34 mins it could be called otherwise). Composed via Ableton Live using a range of samples taken from soundtracks of films made in the 1930s we find ourselves immersed in music which is balancing between pop and the style of some sort of 21-year-old channeling a child on amphetamines. ENJOY!!

This is our first release with people we have not yet met in real life… We will have to hang out soon! A Dead Forest Index are the brothers Adam and Sam Sherry who have weaved their seductive musical tendrils into our consciousness all the way from Melbourne, Australia. It is lovely to have their unique sounds on board the Circle.

SCR012: A Dead Forest Index - Antique EP

Recently remastered for Sonorous Circle release, ‘Antique’ is a short and brooding EP. The brothers Sherry have produced four tracks of heavy imagery with layers of vocals that build like a smothering smoke; Eloquently hissing lines like “turning the distance into a pattern… endlessly illuminating”, and “I plant myself inside your veins; they are now my home”. The acapella brings a black out. Guitar lines chug along slowly with a beautifully toned and vibrant sound that blends nostalgically with the drums in their mutually unremitting rhythms. These could be apocalyptic psalms. Probably a good idea to keep an eye out of your face for these dudes.

CHUR!

Friends,

It is with the greatest of excitements that we bring to you the wonderful sounds of Maya Victoria’s Bleachboys.

Graduating from the UK music scene where she was founder of multi-pyramad doom beat orchestra “Leopard Leg” and member of “The Polly Shang Kuan band”, MV currently creates low end cassette player tape loop brain tangle junk sound music out of her warehouse resort in Melbourne, Australia.

SCR011: Bleachboys - Chthonic Worship
Magnetic weight train makes way through snowstorm. Icey assault, collapsing spacetime and vibrational pole reversal impede and train slows but does not grind to halt, for it is governed by forces that manifest beyond the science and before the magic.
This is an eleven point five minute piece of dark and light ambient originally released on cassette (super limited and now sold out), available today for your listening pleasure in digital formation.
