With their sixth album Guidance, Russian Circles carry on in their quest to conjure multi-dimensional dramatic instrumental narratives and to scout out new textures from their respective instruments. Songs aren't constructed out of highbrow concepts; they're forged out of gut instinct and base emotional response. Guidance continues the band's examination of the polarity of quiet and loud, complexity and simplicity, ugliness and beauty. Every Russian Circles album has had it's share of new sonic vistas, and Guidance finds the band still searching out new sounds while continuing to play to the collective strengths of guitarist Mike Sullivan, drummer Dave Turncrantz, and bassist Brian Cook. Starting with the meditative restraint of album opener "Asa", Guidance sets off on a path of metallic savagery ("Vorel", "Calla"), arpeggio tectonics ("Mota"), mercurial anthems ("Afrika"), somber segues ("Overboard"), and seismic Americana noir ("Lisboa"). With the help of engineer/co-producer Kurt Ballou and his God City Studio, Russian Circles were able to capture this broad tonal palette and wide array of emotional motifs into a cohesive journey through the tumultuous corners of human existence. Sargent House is set to release a limited edition re-issue including a redesigned gatefold jacket with metallic gold varnish in celebration of the albums 10th anniversary
