Eight-piece, Elephant Six-affiliated, psychedelic rock ensemble Circulatory System is set to headline the Cambridge Family YMCA Theatre this Monday night. Fresh from their performance at All Tomorrow's
Parties NY festival (happening this weekend) and just on the heals of
their second record, Signal Morning
(released 9/8 via Cloud), the performance and tour will mark another
surge in E6 activity following the Holiday Surprise tour this past
fall, and the Music Tapes recent tour.
Often compared to the early, experimental recordings of the Beatles and Beach Boys, Circulatory System's haunting distortions and lackadaisical delivery mark a departure from OTC's poppish-sound towards darker, more melody-driven tunes. Opening up will be fellow E6 bands Pipes You See, Pipes You Don't and Nesey Gallons.
Tickets are still on sale for the 185-seat Victorian style theatre.
