Song of the Week: Harper Lewis - Russian Circles

I first learned about Russian circles by seeing a show of theirs locally on a whim and the basis of a few youtube videos. I came away from the show very impressed, their songs, although long had movement and kept me interested. I think that Harper Lewis best illustrates what i loved about that concert. It has an interesting drum part that allows the melody to slowly develop, until it reaches a crushing climax. At that climax the song smoothly changes it whole tone and attitude, instead of being silent and intense, it becomes a fully realized sound. That change of mood and sound works throughout the whole song, and was a joy to listen to.

Song: Here
