Rattle
Encircle (black)
Third album by Nottingham duo Rattles (Katharine Eira Brown and Theresa Wrigley). Known for their hypnotic dual-drum and vocal style, Rattle's music explores rhythm, tension, and inventive forms, praised as "quietly dramatic and loudly intimate." Formed in 2011, RATTLE emerged from Nottingham's live circuit, blending Brown's guitar-turned-drum skills with Wrigley's expertise from her band Fists. Their previous albums, 'Rattle' (2016) and 'Sequence' (2018), earned critical acclaim. Now with 'Encircle' they continue their sonic experimentation. The album comprises four tracks, each pairing shorter songs with expansive compositions, ranging from a fiery and cyclical anthem with layered snares and urgent vocals ('All Burning'), to a hypnotic crescendo of double drums and tribal vocals ('Your Move'), and occult themes inspired song with a swirling and earthy waltz ('Ritual'). Released on 180g black vinyl.
