Yep, they got
the band back together. The Circuit Riders, a weirdo
indie-folk group partially responsible for the formation of Friendly Psychics
Music, have gotten back together for the first time in seven years. "An
Arm and a Legacy" contains all the
tried and true acoustic guitars and fantastical, tongue-twisting lyrics and
vocals, but adds bass, piano, and inifinitely higher production values
than the band's boombox-recorded past.
Songs like "Smashed Laps," "Language as a Second English" and "Treble
Tape" prove that the band, which has contained over 50 members in the
past, still has the weirdly catchy indie-folk vibe down pat. And no,
they're not a gospel-country act from Alabama, regardless of what the voices
in your head are telling you.
All the members contribute lyrics and titles, but for the most part the same
roles hold true as they have over the Circuit Riders dozens of other releases.
Featuring members of Dishwater Psychics, Bullet Gastino and Wicked Immigrant.
