Formed in the Windy City in 2004, Russian Circles were born and from the beginning it was their concoction of metal trimmings, minimal jazz primers, and cryptic riffs that hit the scene out of nowhere with the pummeling impact of a rouge comet crashing in from the skies.

Their music weaves up an intense and cinematic albeit soothing clobbering that cannot be put into words but instead into forms of audible head trips that defies pigeonholing.

"There is so much categorization out there" notes guitarist Mike Sullivan. "I think our sound is just too broad to be labeled as any sort of sub-genre".

It wasn't long before their 2006 debut long player, Enter, dropped with a booming impact and saw them sharing the stage with the likes of Tool, Dalek, Daughters and Pelican.

Russian Circles have managed to progress forward with a newfangled approach toward their live performances.

Their lumbering layers of chiseled post rock and feathery psychedelic infusions have both revved and enticed the listeners into mental orgasms the world over.

Station, was recorded at Seattle's Studio Litho with producer Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Minus the Bear and Isis.) When asked about the recording process Sullivan cites Bayles as a driving force behind the album's precise synergy.

"He's intense in the studio but in a good way". Joining Sullivan and Dave Turncrantz (Drums) on the recording was These Arms are Snakes/ Botch bassist Brian Cook with Morgan Henderson of The Blood Brothers also lending his skills on double bass to the track "Xavii".

If one aspect remained a summit that the band had scaled, it was making sure that the sequencing was spot on to give Station an "album feel" making it suitable for a cohesive listen from beginning to end.

While Russian Circles are picking up where they left off with Enter, Station is guaranteed to be a new passage for a band already known for paving their own unique paths of sonic tundra's that jolt the mind and body and will not only leave it's mark on 2008 but on the future influence of music as a whole.

15th anniversary re-issue of Russian Circles' critically acclaimed sophomore album. Station received critical acclaim from numerous outlets including Pitchfork, AV Club, Line of Best Fit, Pop Matters and more.

Originally released in 2008, Russian Circles' Station marked the second album in an eight LP journey that's tracked the band's rise to the upper echelon of heavy music.

Fifteen years later, the beloved album is set to be re-issued on vinyl via Sargent House.

Lumbering layers of chiseled post-rock and feathery psychedelic infusions continue to rev and entice listeners new and old.

Station weaves intense and cinematic compositions that form into audible head trips that defy pigeonholing.

Inertia builds to impossible levels before imploding into earth-shattering riffs. It's push-and-pull on a seismic scale, where schisms feel rapturous.

In addition, Station was the first Russian Circles album to feature now long-time member Brian Cook on bass.

Formed in Chicago in 2004, Russian Circles represented a distinct shift for the rock landscape.

From the beginning, their concoction of metal trimmings, minimal jazz primers, and cryptic riffs hit the scene out of nowhere with the pummeling impact of a rouge comet crashing in from the skies.

Across the span of their eight studio albums, Russian Circles have traversed a diverse topography of sounds, moods, and approaches with their arsenal of drums, bass, and guitar.

Guitarist Mike Sullivan, Bassist Brian Cook and drummer Dave Turncrantz remain the ever-triumphant trio as they prepare for a run of European dates from July through August 2023.
