CIRCE – SINGLE REVIEW


Circe – Barely Breathing 
Circe - Barely Breathing

Release Date: Out Now

Dream-pop is one of those genres that’s hard to pin down so when Londoner Circe presented under this label I was slightly wary. However, her new single ‘Barely Breathing’ has a bit more bight than your average Dream-pop tune which is a relief! A laidback and luxurious melody swoons and swoops while Circe’s vocal comes out with a Lana Del Rey meets Shirley Manson vibe – part airy, part clenched teeth. There’s a real sense of grandiosity to this with plucked strings and sweeping soundscapes and that’s a lushness you don’t get in new tunes much these days so I’m very much converted to this subgenre of Dream-pop, whatever label you want to put on it.


Live Dates:

8th March – Sebright Arms, London w/No Violet
26th April – The Vegan Leather, Brighton
