CIRCU5 return with Clockwork Tulpa, their second album and first as a full band. 

 

Founded by Steve Tilling, the band's lineup now includes Mark Kilminster (Tin Spirits) and Lee Moulding (TC&I).

 

Presented in a beautifully designed hardback-book-style case, Clockwork Tulpa comes with a 24-page lyric booklet, an insert detailing the CIRCU5 story, access to lossless downloads and streaming, plus a bonus acoustic version of 'Scars'.

 

Blending the complexity and ambition of prog with the immediacy of contemporary rock the album continues the story of Grady – a character raised as a psychopath in a secret organisation. “It’s a reflection on how people navigate traumatic childhoods without falling into cult-like belief systems," says Steve Tilling. "But ultimately, it’s about making the best songs we can.”

 

"A sum-of-its-parts concept record packed to the brim with earworms and technicality, CIRCU5 have never sounded so good.” - PROG
