SEVEN HANDLE CIRCUS Premiere New Track “The Prince” on Baeble

Debut Album Shadows On The Wall OUT October 20th

“…the group creates harmony-centric pop that grabs the ear at first listen, all the while maintaining a rustic quality inherent to the instruments being played. – PopMatters

“Atlanta-based Seven Handle Circus, a six-piece band that is redefining bluegrass and stepping outside the Folk/Americana box.” – Music News Nashville

“The only thing more dexterous than the fingers of this six-piece band is the ideas and wit accompanying them. Smart, poppy tunes twist and turn in unexpected and often delightful ways.” – SouthernLiving.com

“It’s impossible to listen to this song without wanting more from the Georgia band.” – Baeble

Seven Handle Circus, a six-piece folk rock band from Atlanta, premiere their new track “The Prince” on Baeble. The track is off the band’s debut album Shadows On The Wall out October 20, 2014.

“The Prince” not only showcases the band’s impressive instrumentation with bluegrass instruments but features rock-infused crescendos mixed with masterful storytelling.

“The goal with ‘The Prince’ was to put some Rock back into Folk-rock,” says lead singer / songwriter Shawn Spencer. “It was largely inspired by the Machiavelli work of the same name and the music of the band Muse.”

The upcoming album, Shadows On The Wall, finds its center in the thoughtful production of Better Than Ezra’s Tom Drummond, who the band selected after he professed his fandom for the group after the release of their EP. The album was recorded over three sessions in early 2014, two at Tom’s own studio in New Orleans and one at Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Studio in Atlanta. The idea was to distance themselves from traditional bluegrass and make their song arrangements more epic, contrasting big, grandiose sounds with introspective, intimate moments.

“Seven Handle Circus showcases mature songwriting beyond their years,” says Tom Drummond. “They combine impressive bluegrass chops with old school pop sensibilities.”

The acoustic sounds on the album resonate with sincerity and evocative emotion, each note played with passion and intent, something Drummond helped the musicians to capture on the album.
