WHEN MACHINES ATTACK
(2013)
Circus Devils bring you 19 sonic postcards from a probable future forecasting civilization's approaching doom and opportunities to cash in. A satisfyingly unsettling listen from top to bottom (or unsettingly satisfying?). The cast of improbable characters includes a "controller" who introduces teh album, along with Bad Earthman, Craftwork Man, Johnny Dart, the Brain of the Iron Fist, Doberman Wasp and more. Great listening for late night car trips, driving alone of course. Keep watching the skies!

MY MIND HAS SEEN THE WHITE TRICK (2013)
Circus Devils stretch their musical muscles on this collection of thematically unrelated pieces, at times venturing into jazzier territory. In a reversal of the usual formula, Robert's vocal melodies were written first this time, and the Tobia brother's music written to match the vocals.
TRACK LISTING: 1) Stop Floating 2) It Floors the Jane http://youtu.be/Sjw3XXA4KL0 3) Bird Zone 4) Deliver Ice Cream (You Must) 5) Mine 6) Great Orphan 7) Android Dust 8) We'd Be Alright 9) Subway to Human Nature 10) Locomotion Blue Note 11) It Is Not Necessary 12) Eddie's Derangement 13) Strained Ligature 14) Peculiar Smells 15) Skyclops 16) Lice 17) Wizard

CAPSIZED!
(2011)
Circus Devils hits the high seas with
CAPSIZED! (The exclamation point is part of
the title). Once again the Ohio trio featuring
Robert Pollard defies and transcends musical
genres with a strangely coherent blend of soft
rock, aggressive stompers, creepy
soundscapes and a radio-friendly pop single
(Cyclopean Runways). CAPSIZED! Is cinema
for the ears, taking the listener on a dark
adventure with strange cargo, sirens, shipboard ghosts and bad soup.
TRACK LISTING: 1) To England the Tigers 2) Capsized! 3) Cyclopean Runways 4) Legendary Breakfast Code 5) Nully Scully 6) Aerial Poop Show 7) Hangerman Suits 8) Leave the Knife Curtis 9) Vampire Playing a Red Piano 10) Double Vission 11) What Wallace? 12) Plate of Scales 13) Siren 14) Henry Loop 15) Stiffs on Parade 16) The Matter of Being Good 17) Gable's Ear Wax 18) End of the Swell 19) Safe on a Vegetable
