Since the last time Elephant Six psych act Circulatory System released an album, some of the members reconvened with their earlier group, the Olivia Tremor Control. Now, Circulatory System are back with a new album, Mosaics Within Mosaics, due out on June 24 through frontman Will Cullen Hart's own Cloud Recordings.
Excitingly, Mosaics Within Mosaics includes overdubs by cult hero Jeff Mangum, who is a longtime associate of the group, plus his Neutral Milk Hotel bandmate Jeremy Barnes. It also features contributions from a number of core Circulatory System players like Derek Almstead, John Fernandes, Heather McIntosh, AJ Griffin and Peter Erchick.
It consists of a dizzying 31 tracks. The tracklist is below. Scroll past that to stream the inventively heady psych-pop number "If You Think About It Now" [via Pitchfork].
The album will be pressed in a run of 1,000 vinyl records. CDs and digital downloads will also be available.
