Circuit Des Yeux Overdue CD

2013 release. Few albums have had studios built for them. Circuit des Yeux's Haley Fohr and Cave's Cooper Crain erected USA Studios in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood over a few weeks in January 2013 for the two months of recording sessions that make up Overdue. Fohr's fifth LP under the name Circuit des Yeux weaves a sonic Bildungsroman, documenting the transition from collegiate cloister in pastoral Bloomington, Indiana, to the noisy, haggard Chicago South Side. Even with the hand-constructed baffles and grandmother-sourced quilts thickly covering the walls (and, intermittently, a light crust of sloppy snow), the sounds of Little Village are literally embedded in the recording. The strains of nearby norte?os pierce the floorboards and the elevated trains murmur just a few dozen feet from USA Studios' flawed sanctuary.
