Faster Circuits
Faster Circuits, the expansive and skewed psych-pop project helmed by longtime Athens, GA scene-crux Derek Almstead, drops its first album this June 25th, 2013 on Cloud Recordings. Tunes of Glory flexes the sonic and attitudinal complexity Derek developed as a key contributing musician and oft-used engineer for vaunted Athens-centric mainstays Olivia Tremor Control, of Montreal, The Glands, Elf Power, Vic Chesnutt, Circulatory System and a multitude of others too varied to list; truly, this new record represents a collision of patented Athenian melodic chops, a generous and lyrical compositional approach, and a lived-in experimental consciousness that flashes combustible bits of avant-jazz, modern minimalism and exuberant paint-peeling guitar skree.
