The Dark have dropped Circles, a dynamic fusion of metal and disco that explores duality through tension, acceptance, and big questions. Packed with disco beats, heavy riffs, and acid bass, the track pushes boundaries both sonically and visually, featuring gritty, distorted aesthetics. Circles is a bold statement from a band redefining the limits of their sound.
The whole song is about duality. It’s the heat of the moment, and it’s the big picture. It’s the sexual tension, and it’s acceptance. It’s asking the big questions and then ignoring them. It’s metal and it’s disco. Even when it came time to make the visuals, I said let’s film it on the nicest camera I have and then run it through a cheap old TV and ruin it… that’s perfect.
“Circles” is probably my favourite track on the EP to produce. I got to check all my favourite boxes. The disco influence, the call and response verses, the riffs in the chorus, acid bass everywhere, the freaking innuendos… and then a massive inhale at the end… absolute blast.
