After Sunrise: Jacuzzi Blue Vinyl LP
LPJBR246C2Label: Jealous Butcher Records
Release Date: 28th June
Look at this cover, look at the band, they could all easily be leading a 70s cult or they could be in a killer jazz disco funk rock group. Either way, we're converted and with Mikaela Davis joining the commune with her cosmic harp playing, this is one hippy space disco trip we can't resist.
After Sunrise, the new collaboration from Circles Around The Sun and Mikaela Davis reunites the disco cosmonauts and acclaimed harpist for further explorations of the synergy first showcased on the title track of CATS' 2023 album, Language
Comprised of two new original compositions, 'Gloaming Way' and 'Moonbow', and an inspired interpretation of Brazilian legend Sergio Mendes' 'After Sunrise,' the album features the first appearance of vocals on a Circles Around The Sun recording, sung by Davis. A live take on 'Language' rounds out the second side and brings the pairing full circle.
Once the endless night of the discotheque finally gives way to morning light, you may find yourself seaside as the sun peeks over the horizon. As the party rolls through the dawn and into the day, this is the soundtrack.
This is After Sunrise. If it's nice, play it twice.
