Weekend concert pick: Russian Circles
Who needs lyrics? Not Chicago rockers Russian Circles, that's for sure. This week the instrumental group, which plays an album release show Saturday at Subterranean, released its latest album "Station," (click here for our full review) a thick stew of steadily rising aggression that knows when to turn it down and when to crank it up. Tracks like "Youngblood" creep in quietly before exploding into walls of sound as head-banging as they are techinically proficient, easily making you forget about any instinctive need to sing along. More laid-back grooves like "Campaign" and "Xavii" tone down the noise in favor of gentler and even pensive guitar flourishes that sound more like a calm walk than an angry run.
In other words, Saturday's show is the place to be for anyone who wants their weekend's socks officially rocked off. No need to thank us; Your ears will thank you later.
Will you be at the show? What other local acts are you into right now?
