Our Take

"Putting the 'old' in Oxford, the Oxford Circle's latest live album 'Live At The Avalon' takes us back to the swinging sixties in all its groovy glory. This record is like a time machine, transporting us to a time when flower power reigned supreme and tambourines were a necessary accessory.

From the moment the opening chords of 'Painted Postcard' hit, you can almost smell the incense and hear the jingle of hippie beads. The band's psychedelic soundscapes are as dizzying as a bad trip, in the best possible way. Tracks like 'Foolish Woman' and 'You Should Be Glad' showcase the Oxford Circle's raw energy and undeniable charisma.

Lead vocalist Paul Whaley's distinctive voice cuts through the haze like a lighthouse in a storm, guiding us through the band's sonic labyrinth. The interplay between the guitar and organ is as tight as a pair of skinny jeans, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Live at The Avalon captures the essence of a bygone era, where peace, love, and rock and roll ruled the airwaves. So slip on your bell-bottoms, light some incense, and let the Oxford Circle take you on a psychedelic journey back to the summer of love. Groovy, baby, groovy."

About the artist

The Oxford Circle

OXFORD CIRCLE is the avant-garde darling of the indie music scene, a four-piece band from the streets of London that has been making waves with their genre-defying sound and eccentric stage presence. With influences ranging from post-punk to psychedelic rock, OXFORD CIRCLE have carved out a unique niche for themselves in the crowded landscape of modern music. Fronted by the enigmatic lead vocalist, Luna Smith, OXFORD CIRCLE are known for their experimental approach to songwriting, blending intricate melodies with off-kilter rhythms and lush instrumentation. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with Luna's ethereal vocals soaring over their dynamic arrangements, captivating audiences with their otherworldly sound. But don't be fooled by their ethereal aesthetic - OXFORD CIRCLE's music packs a punch, with lyrics that tackle themes of alienation, existential dread, and the pressures of modern life. Tracks like "Neon Dreams" and "Lost in the Haze" showcase their ability to blend introspective lyrics with infectious hooks, creating a sonic landscape that is both haunting and hypnotic. With their debut album set to drop later this year, OXFORD CIRCLE are poised to take the music world by storm. Keep an eye on this band - they're destined for greatness, and you won't want to miss out on the journey.
