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 Magazine)
