On their new album “Squall” , Dark Circles stirs together sunshine vocal pop with cool, retro grooves. Mystical yet unsettling, and all very “saudade”. Be warned. The playful, swirling harmonies and irresistible melodies can lure you into a tempest of loss, regret & ultimate renewal. Organic pop hooks that carry a hefty emotional weight, and plenty of sly humor. Having been compared to a wide range of artists such as The Cowsills, early Velvet Underground, Mazzy Star, and Astrud Gilberto, Dark Circles’ vast alchemical brew retains it unique and haunting vision. |
At the core of Dark Circles is Celeste & Patrick Millius, a husband & wife songwriting duo, originally
from Los Angeles Ca where they’ve worked with such artists as The Fugitive Kind, Victoria Williams,
Insect Surfers, Giant Sand, Paula Jean Brown and the Pig Farmers. They recently relocated to a rustic
hillside cabin in Cheatham County TN, about 20 miles west of Nashville. It is here they’ve set up shop. A
recording studio where Squall was completed, as well as a songwriting retreat, art studio, and part time
sanatorium.
