Fucking finally, seven year wait seems to be worth it though. Ep is pretty great. It's up on their bandcamp page and shit. Always nice when a long awaited thing is actually good and not a Duke Nukem/ Chinese Democracy shitheap (even though I get the feeling this ep has been eagerly awaited by like, nine people). If As The Roots Undo is on your top album list, go get this.

Christ on a bike! This is the last thing I expected to see mentioned on Giant Bomb. But also, fucking finally indeed. To be honest I had stopped paying attention to the news on this release because it seemed like it would never arrive. 
 
Thanks for the heads up duder! Like I said, genuinely (very pleasantly) surprised at both the record being released, and the fact that GB is the place I find out about it from.

New Circle is an important street in my town, so I was confused by the title.

I'm still confused.

@Gargantuan: @satansmagichat: Go to the bandcamp page linked in the OP and listen to "As The Roots Undo" (the album from 2004 linked on the right side of the page). Basically, Circle Takes The Square are an incredible and very unique band that released a handful of EPs and said amazing album. They have been working on a new release for ages now, and it is finally done. 
 
Even if you aren't into this kind of music (hard to describe, like I said, give the album a listen) I heartily recommend that you give "As The Roots Undo" a chance. Stick with it for a bit and you will (possibly) find it to be fucking amazing. If nothing else it is quite unique, which itself is worth celebrating.

@StingerMK2: Yeah they bummed around a bit. A lot. I guess they all got married last year/ earlier this year, they had a bunch of drummers and Drew went to live in the mountains to grow vegetables. But they all got back together and recorded the full album in about three months or whatever. The ep is the first part of it, I'm given to understand. I just hope they tour it in the UK, I NEED to see them live.
