Nottingham duo Rattle's third album Encircle sees the duo expand their unique experiments in rhythm, meter and tension. Rattle are Katharine Eira Brown and Theresa Wrigley, formed in 2011 after meeting on the live circuit whilst both playing in other bands. Katharine was a guitarist who had recently started playing drums in the band Kogumaza, whilst Theresa was the drummer in Nottingham band Fists. Rattle have honed the four songs that make up Encircle by playing them live over the last few years, adapting and stretching them into endlessly inventive new shapes, playing with the concept of time and expectation. Encircle was recorded at Foel Studios, Wales, produced and mixed by Mark Jasper, and mastered at Liminal Audio by Shaun Crook. The stunningly colorful artwork was created by Martha Glazzard, who was also responsible for Rattle's other mesmeric covers. With Encircle Rattle have grown again, the songs alive with elemental power. They build-up and disintegrate, existing in two places at once, embracing the nuance, tracing the circle's edge. These are modes of song as pure gesture and eternal imagination, refined in mirrors after midnight. Rattle has performed at The Barbican, London and toured the UK with Animal Collective and Thurston Moore Group and Europe with The Julie Ruin and Protomartyr, and performed with Hot Snakes, Bill Orcutt Quartet, and Codeine. Also available on black (UTR 169LP) and pink color vinyl (UTR 169X-LP).
