After a long wait, Circle Takes the Square recently announced that they have finally begun recording new music. This "collection of new songs" will mark their first release since their 2004 full-length, As the Roots Undo. Titled Decompositions, their statement suggests it'll be broken into parts. Hit the jump for their statement:
DECOMPOSITIONS recording sessions have begun. On the 1st day of January, 2011 we convened in Georgia, hailing from various locations across the map, at our old haunt: the Rockstudio. Today we began crafting Part I of this collection of new songs with our longtime friend and collaborator, Anthony Stubelek. We had a fruitful first day, as documented in the above montage of moving pictures, and completed tracking drums for two songs. We'll continue to update this blog daily over the next couple of weeks, as our sessions continue and as plans for the release evolve. Thanks to everyone who has been keeping tabs on CTTS through dry spells and downpours alike. We can not wait to share these songs with you.
