In Mother Russia, beard grows you!!! We were lucky enough to nab an interview with Brian Cook, bassist / noisist extraordinaire for Russian Circles , and he provides some interesting insights into thier latest release, Geneva . Geneva is a definite progression for Russian Circles. All the signature elements are there, only more concentrated, more developed. Was that a conscious effort for the three of you? What are your thoughts on the creative process resulting in this album? We definitely [...]

I was in Underground Sounds the other day and Phantom Family Halo 's new album Monoliths & These Flowers Never Die was playing. I didn't recognize it at first, but what I heard was epic. Every track seemed lifted from a timeless album that changed music, but in a mirror reflecting PFH's own image. It's messy, its distorted, it's trippy, it's perfect. I've seen them a number of times in the past and I've always been a fan, but this album has taken them to a whole new level for me. The album throws pretension and convention [...]
Yes, it's true that we've bid summer a final farewell for this year and with it a good chunk of the live outdoor music fests around the country. But one of the perks of living in a state like hot-ass Texas is that the party doesn't stop once the calendars turn and this year is no different. Recently announcing a huge line-up, this year's Fun Fun Fun Fest is just what the doctor ordered for those who are hopelessly hanging on to the possibility of at least one more good festival before the year closes out. Splitting up [...]

Editor's Note: Usually, I use Sundays to rant and rave about just about anything and I'm just as likely to discuss broad topics about music as I am my cat or wrangling at Home Depot. I've been fairly off the radar for the last couple of weeks while Brian, Rob, James, and Justin have been covering the album review duties superbly. Rob's debut review of The Ettes earlier this week was solid and we're glad to have him on board. Justin's finally getting over his Canadian hangover and Brian has officially shaken the flu. Wrap all of this together with [...]

![Russian Circles: Malko [Track Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1972915_lg.jpg)
Russian Circles return with "Malko" off their new LP Geneva , continuing their immense, epic instrumentals with added intricacy and a renewed sense of direction. "Malko" finds Russian Circles initially taking their metal riffs down a notch but never once letting up on the ferocity of their earlier sound. As the opening riff drops out, the fierce noise that replaces it equals anything off their prior albums and EPs. Geneva will be released on October 20 via Suicide Squeeze Records . Russian Circles: [...]
The Fader recently premiered Russian Circles' "Malko," the first track from "Geneva" available as a free MP3 download. This one's a fast 80's cocaine song with a shred guitar intro that "runs through a host of genres," while constantly upping the intensity and catchiness of the music, before the tension swells to reach a scathing end.
