4.0 out of 5 stars A great debut from Will Harts new band, 24 Jun 2002
When the popular 'Elephant 6' band Olivia Tremour Control broke up, its two main song writers each decided to concentrate on solo projects, Bill Doss released an album under the name of 'Sunshine Fix' and Will Hart formed the Circulatory system. If you are a fan of the Olivia Tremour control you will will see the roles these two song writers played in their unique sound. Sunshine Fix have a very phsych-pop sound, sixties style harmonies and a more polished studio sound then the four track sound of OTC.
Will Hart with his Circulatory System however, have kept the four track sound for much of this album. These songs are far more subtle and moody then that of Sunshine Fix, they are not as instantly accessible. But...with a few listens, the sound really grows and you. There is not as much sonic experimentation as OTC, but as a record it feels deeper and more serious. Will Harts vocals are breathy and understated, not unlike Elliott Smith on some tracks.
'Lovely Universe' is a great song, as is 'Yesterdays World'. There are also many shorter simple songs which sound like they have been recorded on a four track recorder in Will Harts bathroom, and this somehow gives them a quite intimate sound.
This is not an album full of sun shine pop, like you might expect from the Elephant 6 collective, I would describe it as a phsycadelic yet deep, lo-fi rock album. Its pretty good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Circulating around, 8 Jan 2006
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Elephant 6 bands tended to trade members around. And in Circulatory System's self titled debut, members of Of Montreal, Olivia Tremor Control and Neutral Milk Hotel come together to make joyous, layered psychedelica that will just transport you away into yesterday's world.

It opens with a child counting down to "Yesterday's World," the best song the Beatles never made. But that influence dies away in the second song, "Prehistoric," with a gritty riff that surfaces in a dreamy, singsong melody. Several songs like "Diary of Wood" and the catchy "Lovely Universe" are practically a celebration of catchy psychedelic indiepop.

But Circulatory System circulates all around, including funereal ballads like the solemn "Round" or the distant, chiming "Now." They dip into indie-rock, airy pop, and employ some exotic music and sputtering sounds in "Should A Cloud Replace A Compass?" The album finishes on a stately note with the nearly music-less "Forever," where a male chorus sings solemnly that "we will live forever/and you know it's true."

Music like this is too rare -- every one of the twenty-two songs is textured, complex and brimming over with acid beauty. Like most of the better Elephant 6 bands, Circulatory System has no filler songs, nothing that seems like it was hastily slapped together. Instead, it feels like it was meticulously crafted like a piece of fine modern art.

After his work on Olivia Tremor Control's two albums and many singles, W. Cullen Hart's handling of psychedelica is no less than masterful. He creates songs that just border on pop, with plenty of catchiness and instrumental fun. But then comes those sonic sweeps, those eerie sound effects, those warm and shimmering soundscapes. In a nutshell, the music is a perfect blend of those two kinds of music.

Who other than Hart works on "Circulatory System"? About twenty-five other Elephant 6 people (including Jeff Mangum, John Fernandes and Eric Harris), and whatever instruments, radios, and sound effects fit together. That includes basses, clarinets, violins, shortwave radios, organs, ukelele, a wonderful brass arrangement, tambourine, and something called "the magic tape organ." I'm not exactly sure what that is, but it apparently works.

Hart also wrote all the songs on "Circulatory System," and they fit the music beautifully. They're very simple, very strange, and very sweet -- "we're only made of water, sand and stone/we're made of joy and make believe." With all the references to stars, suns, churches and climbing trees to follow the stars. Hart reaches his peak when he wrote, "Rain makes shapes fall on the lights/and thelamppostss, door to door/should a cloud replace a compass?/How long can we think of the world/as simply up or down (black and white)/when inside out has come (and gone)."

Circulatory System's first -- and so far, only -- album is a rare and rewarding musical experience, a psychedelic musical blend that takes the best of the Beatles and Olivia Tremor Control. Beautiful, enchanting and thoroughly engaging.
