Glimmer Twins infatuation--well, some folks can pull it off, others cannot. We all know how well Royal Trux rocked 'n' cocked it through the '90s, and now in the second decade of the 21st century, Circle Pit have sauntered into the boozy sway with their debut LP Bruise Constellation.
Seemingly born out of the tar and tobacco of Nellcote / Exile on Main Street-session blooze, Circle Pit ably finesse a torn and frayed sound that's as retro as it is original. Oozing raw talent and possessed with uncanny sensual / sexual osmosis, Bruise Constellation will have you believing it's the Summer of '72 all over again (again). Look for the band to tour US with Pink Reason in August.

"... fuses elements of scum rock, garage and straight rock to create songs of detached cool, displacement and frustration."
--Spook Magazine
"Circle Pit is the type of rock band that most others are too lazy to be: aligned closely with tradition but replete with the type of individuality and wit, honesty and intimacy that is usually shed in favor of blindly channelling riffs already written. Bruise Constellation sheds light on the gaudy subterranean sleaze of a Sydney rapidly devolving into a Ballardian capitalist nightmare--all tidy swept streets, pedestrian free thoroughfares and oiled seven-to-when-you-pass-out workdays. It's also the catchiest record you're going to hear all year."
