02 / About

A shoegaze/alt/emo/prog/post-hardcore band.

Or something like that.

Based in Copperas Cove, Texas, Cir. Ëlke makes room for melody and abrasion. Beauty and heartbreak. Bass lines move through layers of guitar, drums push the backbeat into the red or settle into the texture, and vocals shift from delicate to raw. Music to listen to, music to lie perfectly still on the floor sobbing to.

Originally a guitarist, I found myself drawn to bass through Cir. Ëlke. I’m interested in melodic lines, unconventional rhythms, and how effects change the bass’s role in a song.

Inspirations
Knocked Loose, Iron Maiden, and everything in between

Xavier

Drums

I like the balance between technical drumming and a steady groove. Some parts call for more, but I’d rather hold the pocket and let the vocals take over.

Inspirations
Casey, Colourblind (Aus), Alice In Chains, La Dispute, Badflower, Oceans Ate Alaska
