Album Review: Circa Waves - Different Creatures

Dylan Stewart

"Circa Waves have graduated to stadium-worthy, headline act material."

Talk about aiming high. All facets of Different Creatures, the second album by UK outfit Circa Waves, have been dialled in one direction: up.

From volume to political commentary, the band have built a record that should — nay, will — force promoters and DJs to not just notice them, but put them on a pedestal for the masses. In the same way Bloc Party, Foals and The Wombats have done over the past decade, Circa Waves have graduated to stadium-worthy, headline act material. What's more, Different Creatures is brimming with diversity. It'll be a treat to see live.
