Circlesquare is Vancouver, British Columbia’s Jeremy Shaw, now living in Berlin. Don’t be surprised, though, if he doesn’t sound like any of his citymates: for the length of his career, Circlesquare has never sounded quite like anyone but Circlesquare. Last heard from over two years ago, Circlesquare set hearts racing with a set of records released between 1999 and 2006 on Trevor Jackson’s Output label, home to a diverse roster of electronic outsiders like Black Strobe, DK7, and Colder. His 2003 album Pre-Earthquake Anthem came as a revelation: rather than the fluo-funk of his better known labelmates, or the digitized minimalism of the day, Circlesquare came on like a molasses drip laced with Codeine, roping in such unlikely references as Tones on Tail, Leonard Cohen, Pole, Angelo Badalamenti, and even Cat Stevens. Boomkat called it “dense, considered stuff… mixing up a brooding and pounding melancholy, bass-fuelled sensory exploration, and purest minimal electronic meltdown.” 2006’s Fight Sounds EP was even stranger. It moved like snails set on fire, dousing steel guitar in acid sequences and warped keyboard riffing, all overlaid with Jeremy’s intimate, ominous voice.Tracklist: 01 Klimek – "True Enemies and False Friends (Excerpt)" * 02 Tones on Tail – "Twist" * 03 Klimek – "True Enemies and False Friends (Excerpt)" * 04 October – "Invitation" * 05 Paul Ritch – "Evil Laff (Konrad Black Remix)" * 06 Leonard Cohen – "Who By Fire" * 07 Klimek – "True Enemies and False Friends (Excerpt)" * 08 Rational Youth – "City of Night" * 09 Klimek – "True Enemies and False Friends (Excerpt)" * 10 Virtual Boy – "X & Y" * 11 Ben Klock – "
