Jan 19, 2018Semicircle’s many pleasures--of melody, of tone color, of ideals never losing the beat--deserve an essay’s worth of exposition (no, really).

Jan 18, 2018The result is another eclectic, iconoclastic record that doesn't sound like anything else happening in the world. That the Go! Team can sound as fresh and inventive on Semicircle as they did when they started is an impressive, almost miraculous, feat that defies nature and defines triumphant joy.

Jan 24, 2018Parton has managed to create an album that very much sounds like his previous work but expands the emotional canvas he's working with. It is a fantastic little album with exactly the sort of youthful, innocent drive that you just don't get from artists well into middle age.

Jan 19, 2018Semicircle won’t seem like a giant leap for the band but is yet another upbeat, buoyant addition to their canon, injected with an even greater sense of community spirit.
