Dark Captain Light Captain / Circles

Loaf

The softly psychedelic sound of Dark Captain Light Captain--mesmeric, delicate, and slightly twisted--is all over Circles, the latest release from the East London quartet. This four-song EP is a taster for their upcoming full-length album and marks a transition from their original, more minimal bedsit vibe to a much more muscular, live sound. An added brass section and the legendary beats of Chin Keeler of Quickspace fame give the songs a gently pulsing, almost Can-like drive.  Recent shows throughout London have seen the band getting deeper and stronger, weaving the songs into a haunting web of acid-tinged folk with sweet harmonies, chiming guitars, spaced-out brass, and touches of electronic deviance.  The songs here have been lovingly polished and brought into focus by the team of Robin Proper-Sheppard (God Machine, Sophia) and Kenny Jones, and offer a sweet taste of the righteous sound of Dark Captain Light Captain. Rejoice!  "In an increasing world of electro beats and synthesizers, Dark Captain Light Captain offer a depth and substance beyond the label of their clothes or brightness of their jeans and trainers." --Supersweet Magazine
