Russian Circles is a three piece instrumental post-metal/post-rock band from Chicago. Similar to fellow Chicago residents Pelican, Russian Circles play epic, sprawling music which runs the gamut of heavy discordant metal to soft delicate passages. They are also known for their energetic live shows, which include tours with Tool, Red Sparowes, Minus the Bear and Daughters, as well as appearances at the 2006, 2007 & 2008 SXSW festivals.
Formed in late 2004 by guitarist Mike Sullivan and bassist Colin DeKuiper (both formerly of another instrumental band Dakota/Dakota), they quickly recruited Dave Turncrantz, formerly of St. Louis band Riddle of Steel. In 2007 DeKuiper departed the band and Brian Cook (These Arms Are Snakes and Botch) took on the role of bass player for the writing and recording of their newest album, entitled ‘Station,’ recorded in Seattle with Producer Matt Bayles.
Station was released on May the 6th, 2008 on Suicide Squeeze Records.
Cook does tour with Russian Circles on bass when the timing does not interfere with his own band These Arms Are Snakes.
Russian Circles announced a new album entitled ‘Geneva’ which is scheduled to be released on October 20th, 2009. The album will feature the same lineup as Station, with Brian Cook reportedly taking a much larger role in the writing and creation of the album.

I would start with Enter first as I think it is probably their strongest overall album. However, I would also be inclined to say Station as well, especially since I think Harper Lewis may be their best song. You can't go wrong with either of the two albums, they both are extremely strong and enjoyable. Their new album, Geneva, is great, but maybe not as good as an intro album.

Geneva is a nice album but I still think that 'Station' is their best one. I miss those ingenious tapping textures on Geneva.
