Public Circuit
If electronic music is a sacred theology, New York band Public Circuit is the pagan heretic pushing the genre forward with an indomitable will to live. After finding each other in early 2023, Ethan Biamont, Sean Holloway and Nelson Fisher will release their second album “Modern Church” on Sept. 12 through the à La Carte Records label.
In Modern Church, the New York trio dismantles and reassembles post-punk with surgical precision. Gone is any pretense of retro revival, while what remains is something edgier, darker, and completely personal. Thanks to a new spirit of collaboration among all three members, this is a record that dances both in the flickering light of candles and under the glow of neon, channeling an austere pulse of angular electronic instrumentation and raw percussive rhythms, all wrapped in the polished pain of sophisti-pop, for a sound that is in equal measure ritual and revolution.
After the release of their debut album in 2024, the band took “Lamb” on tour with sold-out concerts in 30 states, including festivals such as New Colossus, Hopscotch, and MACROCK. They will continue to spread their gospel this fall, both in the United States and Europe.
Opening
UMARELLS
(UK – psych pop – fear of missing out records)
Umarells-whose name comes from that very Bolognese word for retired people observing construction sites! – assemble elements of post-hardcore, shoegaze, Midwest emo and 2000s indie-psych to bring to life reflections on grief, loss and ended relationships shot through with ocean-deep introspection.
“One More Day,” the Umarells’ debut EP, released in November 2024, goes through peaks, drops and flips to offer a front-row seat on the emotional roller coaster of life.
Their new single “Moment Before The End,” recorded with producer Alex Greaves (Working Men’s Club, bdrmm), will be released on July 10, 2025.
