Alice M. I discovered the full potential of this album – and of this band – when I had to meet a deadline for work, alone in a dark office, debugging stuff until midnight. Energizing but not stressful: the kind of music that turns everyday life into an epic story.

RM Their best (?). Every song hits just right and follows perfectly from the one before it. Great groove, great feel, great tunes. Let yourself be crushed. Favorite track: Fathom.

Joshua My favourite Russian Circles album, it's so fucking powerful and layered. great work. Favorite track: Melee.

about

On, Geneva, Russian Circles expand on what they’ve done best all along; the rhythm section hijacks the melody and goes cruising for trouble. Dave Turncrantz is not only an insanely lithe drummer but a great conductor as well: the dynamic control he exerts is endlessly pleasing to listen to... Brian Cook, now fully integrated as the band’s bassist, contributes massive, earth-moving low-end and malevolent texture from bowed instruments and electric bass... Equally breathtaking are Mike Sullivan’s compositions: layered parts that four separate guitarists would have difficulty executing, looped in evolving patterns that rarely repeat note for note...

Geneva is a linear, ruthlessly gorgeous album. There’s barely a breath between tracks, but there’s a rhyme and reason to its every nuance; no tangent is allowed to branch off without careful analysis of where it may lead... The band is never uncertain or ambivalent about their next move... Listen, and become immersed in a master class of timbre and tonal sculpting, classic both in level and scope.

Russian Circles are Mike Sullivan, Dave Turncrantz, and Brian Cook.

Geneva was engineered by Greg Norman, at Electrical Audio and produced by Brandon Curtis, of The Secret Machines.

A lot of good ideas in this piece of art. It's like the songs you hear subconscioulsy when you have a lot to think about on a rainy and every-lasting day. Living in a world where this piece of music exists makes me a lucky person as I find some answers by listening to it over and over again. Oliver Juan
