urika’s bedroom – “Circle Games”
The LA-based musician known as urika’s bedroom makes idiosyncratic, evocative, home-recorded indie rock. Earlier this year, urika’s bedroom toured with Nourished By Time, and we posted their single “XTC.” That song will appear on urika’s bedroom’s full-length debut album Big Smile, Black Mire, which is set to arrive later this year. So will “Circle Games,” the new urika’s bedroom single.
“Circle Games” is a bleary, dreamy track that layers echoing, heavily filtered vocals and prettily distorted guitars over a deep head-nod drum-machine groove. It sounds like futuristic trip-hop, and it’s got a music video from director Rich Smith. Below, check out that video, the Big Smile, Black Mire tracklist, and urika’s bedroom’s upcoming tour dates.
