Circa Waves release surprise EP 'Hell On Earth'

Having only just returned to share the brand new single 'Hell On Earth' earlier this week, their first in two years, Circa Waves have now dropped a surprise EP.

The new four-track collection, also called 'Hell On Earth', marks their first batch of new material since their 2020 double album 'Sad Happy', and is available to stream everywhere now.

Speaking about the new EP, frontman Kieran Shudall said, “‘Hell on Earth’ is about the world moving so fast around you you’re struggling to keep up. Record stores closing, politicians lying more than ever, social anxiety at its highest level and that general feeling some days that everything is going wrong.

"'Aisles of Strange’ picks up where 'Hell On Earth' left off. Continuing on these strange times we live in. Mostly written after seeing people fight in the aisles of Tesco for bog roll.

“There’s not many pop songs that include hoovering so I thought it might be funny to write one.

‘"Sidetracked’ is my meandering mind whilst driving. If you listen whilst driving you can see almost everything I'm chatting about. It also sounds great driving down the M62.”
