Freeload: Soft Circle, “Drumbler”

story THE FADER

We never really know what we’re going to get when we listen to Soft Circle, sometimes there are drones and whale-yelps, other times it’s songs like “Drumbler,” a layered piece of hypnosis through tight drumming and a thick bassline—barebones in instrumentation but somehow just as dense as the ambient works. At first we were thinking that it was kind of a surprising direction for Hisham to take the project in, but then we remembered that Soft Circle has always existed in a constant state of evolution, never sounding the same twice. Sometimes Soft Circle is for sitting in a chair and going on crazy mind journeys, but this time—if you wanted—you could dance or maybe at least nod your head.
