Skippy Spiral - Circuit Circus (2020) EN

This is one of the most peculiar things on my blog ever, Skippy Spiral is "a music clown & entertainer" from Savannah, and his newest album, Circuit Circus, makes a really punk-psychedelic mixture with accordion and circus on the foreground.

The fascination with circus up to this point in my mind was mostly about atmospheric and dark ballads by The Irrepressibles, that said, the American makes more like a lo-fi psychedelic joy ride. In the description featured on the label's Badcamp, you can read that in the artist's music "accordion/keyboard & carny barker style vocals is accompanied by original music that infuses..." and then there goes an impressive list of music genres with for example punk, industrial or klezmer. To make everything even more interesting, Circuit Circus is a concept album telling a farce/parable about the humankind uploaded to artificial reality.

The album consists of the lot of punkishly fast songs in a borderline lo-fi style. Some, such as Vicious Circle, Shadowish Puppetry or Clownbot 3000 instantly make their way to the listener's mind. This album is definitely a fun fact, but also one the musical layer of which is worth checking out too.
