Review: The Out Circuit – Pierce The Empire With A Sound

If you have a hankerin’ for some slowly brooding atmospheric post-rock-core, then The Out Circuit just might be your fix. Sounding something like Minus The Bear vs. The Cure vs. Casket Lottery, The Out Circuit is the current project of former Frodus bassist Nathan Burke. His latest album Pierce The Empire With A Sound features collaborations with members of Thrice, Roadside Monument, Haram, and even some vocals from Sean Ingram (of Coalesce fame). There are meandering and beautiful shoegazing instrumentals and points where things turn from slight to screaming in a way that recalls the dynamics of Refused. All in all, a good (even if synth heavy) effort. Pierce The Empire With A Sound is out now on Lujo Records.
