Russian Circles

Logjam Presents welcomes Russian Circles live in concert at the Rialto. The Chicago trio mines the relatively unmarketable niche of protracted instrumental dirges. But Russian Circles persistently expands its creative boundaries by working with a wider swath of sounds and structures. The band’s last album, Memorial, encompasses the many facets of the band s catalog: harrowing gloom, cinematic majesty, primitive bludgeonings, bittersweet dexterity, and morose minimalism.
