Circuits - The Choir Invisible (Track)

Release: 23^rd June 2008

Label: Try Science

It’s always upsetting to listen to a song that has so much promise, yet fails to deliver. It’s infinitely more upsetting than listening to an out and out horrible song. Unfortunately, this is a case of the former. Circuits have been lauded by many sources for their debut LP, Bright As Midnight, but it seems that the praise may not be apt for such a languid single as The Choir Invisible.

The pacing seems to be all skewed. It seems as if the band have tried to utilise it, so they can build up to a spectacular finish. Needless to say, this doesn’t happen. The lyrics are also uninspired and have no depth. The melodies, however, are very summer-y and light, which is the only thing that saves this from being unlistenable. There just doesn’t seem to be a saving grace in this 4 minute ode, which is an utter shame as there’s a glimmer of potential here. All it requires is some well needed cultivation.
