Prog Ensemble Circuline\u2019s highly anticipated new album \u201cC.O.R.E.\u201d will be released on the Inner Nova Music label on September 20th, 2024. Circuline\u2019s 2024 \u201cC.O.R.E.\u201d Virtual Tour began Friday, January 12th, 2024, and will consist of 57 events in 48 weeks, with Single releases, Lyric videos, Official videos, \u201cBehind the Scenes\u201d videos, and Livestream Q&A events where the band is able to connect with their fans around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Says keyboardist Andrew Colyer, \u201cWith this international virtual tour, we have two goals: 1.) We want to get our music exposed to as many people as possible, to continue to grow our fan base worldwide. 2.) We want to deepen our relationships with the fans who are the most passionate. Releasing singles, lyric videos, and Official Videos accomplishes the first goal, and by doing these in-depth, \u2018Behind the Scenes\u2019 videos, we accomplish the second goal. Packaging everything together into a single 12-month celebration of the new album will hopefully capture more attention for future opportunities for live performing and touring, with this fantastic new lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Circuline\u2019s \u201cC.O.R.E.\u201d was written and recorded between 2018 and 2023, for this album the band wanted to keep all the writing \u201cin-house\u201d. So, the majority of the material was written by Andrew, Darin, and Natalie. Billy Spillane had input into almost every song, before he decided it was time to move on. Two of the songs were co-written with Matt Dorsey, who is still a good friend and colleague of the band\u2019s \u2013 Andrew will be performing with his band at the International ProgStock Festival this year. Alek Darson had invaluable input during the writing and arranging stages. Shelby and Dave brought new perspectives and their own unique artistry to these songs, and the band couldn\u2019t be happier with the result. The icing on the cake is to have good friend Joe Deninzon (Kansas, Stratospheerius) as a Guest Artist for some killer electric violin parts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Says Andrew, \u201cSince the music is the easiest part of the writing for us, we focused on the Songwriting – the lyrics and melodies. That\u2019s the hardest part for us, which is one of the many reasons it took so long to finish the record. We are natural \u201clong-form storytellers\u201d, with most of our songs in the past being six to eight minutes long. Our intention is to appeal to a wider audience, which often means shorter attention spans, so we challenged ourselves to write some shorter, \u201cradio-friendly, pop-rock\u201d songs. We also wanted to write some faster songs, since our default in the past has been in the mid-tempo, more mellow range. So, we accomplished that. I got my \u2018power ballad anthem\u2019 in there. Of course, our influences of modern and classic progressive rock, such as YES, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Steven Wilson, and Gong, are also represented. It\u2019s definitely an eclectic album.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
