Last year, for the first time, the human race became more urban than rural. Soon, more than half of the world's population will live in urban centers. Some will point to a rise in development among third world countries, some to megacities getting mega-er, and still others to the sustained and stable nature of urban rents for people and businesses. It's all hooey. The real reason peeps have congregated to metropolitan areas rather than staying in the sticks was to align themselves in time to see Russian Circles on their forthcoming tour! It's not that the heavy trio are only playing monster municipalities, but they ain't playing Arrowsic, ME or Fredonia, KY. Nor does it look like they will anytime soon. Poised to be one of the most acclaimed riff ‘n’ smash albums this year, Station (out this week on Suicide Squeeze), is a brusque and aggressive display of power that is deliriously satisfying.
Here is the tracklisting for Station and a list of towns that Russian Circles will be tearing apart in the very near future.
