MP3 At 3PM: Circulatory System

It has been eight years since the release of Circulatory System’s critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album. One reason for the delay was that primary songwriter, visual artist and former Olivia Tremor Control member Will Cullen Hart was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This track, from the new Signal Morning (Cloud), features Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, but don’t get your hopes up too high: He’s on drums. The song opens with a Bats-esque jangle before the fuzz kicks in, and it swells, stutters and shuffles like a lo-fi Pete Townshend mini-opera.
