Kicking off with the incendiary title track as the first
single which Huffington Post calls "probably their biggest statement song
yet", Flobots are returning to the forefront of the socio-political alternative/hip-hop
fusion they helped pioneer over the last decade. Self-written, recorded, and
produced, The Circle In The Square is a fascinatingly multi-layered album that
serves as a vehicle to talk about the beauty and the danger in the current world. Formed in Denver, CO when a pair of intelligent, visionary
emcees joined focuses with a powerful rhythm section and a classically-trained
violist, Flobots fused disparate interests and styles of music to create a potent
combination that brings together live hip-hop, strings-laden breakbeats and
symphonic
rock-infused crescendos that has earned them a reputation for both originality and authenticity.
Written during the height of the Iraq war, their mega-hit
"Handlebars" thrust them into the spotlight, earning the band a #3 position on Billboard's
"Modern Rock Tracks" chart.
Flobots are Jonny 5 (emcee, vocals), Brer Rabbit (emcee,
vocals), Mackenzie Gault (viola, vocals), Jesse Walker (bass) and Kenny Ortiz
(drums). The Circle In The Square will be released on August 28, 2012 via
Shanachie Records. The first single "The Circle In The Square" impacted
radio on June 26th.
A national US tour starting in September will be announced
shortly.
