Brooklyn based songwriter Juliet Quick has released “Circles” the first single off of her upcoming EP Glass Years.
The 5-minute song is one drenched in both sadness and perseverance. The song advocates for zoning out those who constantly try to give you advice on your life and career, noting that sometimes it’s what you need to do to keep your sanity.
The two verses that showcase this are right in the middle
Men tell me all kinds of things
I tend not to believe them
posturing over me, they say
they’re just using reason
Don’t listen to the crust punks,
they have no coherent politics
you chase yourself around like that
you’ll wind up broke and nauseous
again
Juliet’s singing has a similar style to Alexandra Savior. The instrumentation on “Circles” while minimal, letting her voice do the bulk of the work, perfectly compliment the song. The strings swirl around the track, coming in and out to accent Juliet’s lyrics. The drums only bang as the song swells to it’s peak and disappear almost as quickly as they came. Take a listen below and look out for the full EP coming out on March 5.
