Giants of Jazz welcomes De Stijl recording artists Circuit Des Yeux on Friday 6/26 at midnight ET for a live performance.
Fronted by Haley Fohr, Indiana’s Circuit Des Yeux are currently on tour in support of their new album, Symphone, which Volcanic Tongue’s David Keenan calls “a bunch of beautifully fractured tracks.” The album comes from “the same void that birthed Jandek, Jim Shepard, Adris Hoyos et al albeit cut with some almost Diadal-styled avant confusion.” Keenan goes on to write: “Imagine a solo songs LP by Jandek’s Nancy or Lisa Suckdog sung straight to cassette (w/ guitar / piano / keyboards / tape hiss accompaniment) and ‘produced’ by Majora’s ‘in-house’ team and you have the perfect recipe for a classically confusing late-night spin in the tradition of alla the best nada-info American privates.”
