Circulus – My Body is Made of Sunlight
Circulus are a rather excellent modern-day psychedelic-folk act, who look as though they’ve taken one double-dip of lysergic acid diethylamide too many and woken up in the late sixties/early seventies -- a better time for music, when this type of thing was the norm.
Fusing Elizabethan elements into their witch’s cauldron of evocative and pastoral psychedelia, Circulus are quite unlike anything else doing the rounds today. HFoS applauds this non-conformity and a sound that reaches out from the perfumed gardens and Jostick-scented abodes of 1971.
‘My Body is Made of Sunlight’ is taken from Circulus’s cracking debut album of 2005, The Lick on the Tip of an Envelope Yet to be Sent and sets their stall out nicely, letting us know exactly where we stand when it comes to what Circulus are about.
Think Kaleidoscope and Fairfield Parlour. Think Jethro Tull. Think Dr. Strangely Strange. Think Comus:- Circulus awaken the spirits of all these fine groups and more.
Reviews of Circulus’s three albums will follow.
