Sirkus

This World Below (black)

Special audiophile 45rpm EP collectors edition. "What are they doing in heaven today? - I don't know but it's my business to stay here and sing about it." We neither know what they're doing in heaven, nor do we want to know that in the very religious way that Reverend Washington Phillips does. So the question arises why we -as band Sirkus- recorded four Christian gospel songs. Even though all six of us were raised in a more Christian way, we don't consider ourselves religious. On the other hand, we've often worked with deeply religious or spiritual music like gospel or blues over the years. We are fascinated by their transcendental aspects and by how they portray moment of personal empowerment in times of struggle. Whether in the here and now, materially or metaphysically. These issues have always been present for us when playing songs such as they are released here on the 12" maxi single. Musically, the tension between our roots in blues and gospel and our previous development towards krautrock, Afro-psychedelica and electronica is reflected in this record." Limited to 100 copies on black vinyl, but only a handful available, so first come, first served.
