The Heavy Circles
The Heavy Circles

Family ties bind the Heavy Circles, the latest project from veteran vocalist Edie Brickell and newcomer Harper Simon. Their familial connection centers on Paul Simon—Brickell’s husband and Harper’s dad—but musically, the duo’s self-titled debut finds little in common with Simon senior. While there’s the occasional hint of Brickell’s giddy, free-spirited approach, Harper’s songwriting and production prowess tip this set more toward ambiance than attitude. Elegiac ballads like “Confused,” “Easier” and “Maximo” are awash in lush textures and nocturnal sensibilities, while the swirling atmospherics of “Wait” and “Oh Darlin” reinforce the album’s cerebral feel. Simon’s tenure in New York’s adventurous studio scene is also evident—in the hipster vibe of “Henri,” the Blondie-like rumble of “Dynamite Child” and the eclectic influences that circulate throughout. Consequently, by pooling their talents, Simon and his stepmom have created a genuine family jewel. —LZ

WLY to be brutaly honest it nice to see you post here again. Like the grand markie information . I always had a thing for you and the mystery tribe.

If only Edie would stop recording, I never checked out that last album she put out or was it the last two? I might look at this, but errm.

*waits for wly's response.*

k, I started grabbing the album. First track is all I've listened to so far, it's okay. Did she do one without the Bohemians and then another with them again? I totally lost track. At least this sounds interesting, still I'd have to check out a lyric sheet to see if I actually approve.

May King, sorry to sound ignorant, but can I just check whom the three pics added to the end of your posts are?

Cat Power, Mary Timony, and Nina Gordon.

i have the heavy circles downloaded on my computer
heh
i might listen to that sometime next year.
the last brickell and bohemians album was actually good, baud.

cheers wooden and alone, I guess I might give this new outling a listen before I back track. Although I must say I've only just discovered the Artist of the Day thread, I don't know why I didn't check it before, I'm going to be checking out some of those people mentioned there. That'd be the worst thing if this site suddenly dissapears, 40+ pages to check out. Who keeps mentioning Jewel though! Nice tips from those pages, I have some research to do.

I've always meant to get around to checking out Cat Power, I seriously don't have a good excuse for that.

heh, those song of today, artist of the day threads are epic threads. so long, so many words. lol
someone save it.
it's like an archive of braggart behavior
also, a coming of age diary.
you can see how some of us grew up through the shit we play and patterns in listening behavior.
might be a nice social document or something.

anyway, start with cat power's moon pix if you're gonna check her out. it's her most hushed effort but it's her best, for me.

the cd has got a who's who list of indie celebrities on it. money mark, sean lennon, martha wainwright, inara george, and someone from that dog.

wow, someone from that dog?
wowzers
i wanna listen to it now
it does seem more contemporary than anything edie has done

I like You Are Free best by Cat Power. Then again I really haven't given Moon Pix a fair chance yet, aside from American Flag and Cross Bones Style.

Hmm, well "To Venus and back" is my favorite album, and the fact that they compare this album to it makes me want to check it out...

Is it Petra Haden?

no she signed with virgin.
