Circle - Point

Review by Dan Phale

Circle's latest album, Point, is a mesmerizing journey through the depths of experimental rock. The Finnish band has been pushing the boundaries of their genre for over two decades, and Point is a testament to their unwavering commitment to innovation.

From the opening track, "Terminal," Circle sets the tone for an album that is both hypnotic and unpredictable. The band's use of repetition and layering creates a sense of urgency that is sustained throughout the entire album. Tracks like "Saxo" and "Swoosh" are driven by pulsating rhythms and distorted guitar riffs, while "Hiiret" and "Kuutamo" showcase the band's ability to create atmospheric soundscapes.

Point is not an album that can be easily categorized. It blends elements of krautrock, post-punk, and even hints of techno, but ultimately it is a unique and singular work. Circle's willingness to explore new sonic territories is what makes Point such a compelling listen. It is an album that demands your attention and rewards repeated listens.

Summary by Dan Phale

Circle's Point is a stunning achievement that solidifies their place as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in experimental rock.
