Russian Circles new album Empros is out and they have shared a track to wet your appetite. It’s named Mladek. Apparently after the bands European driver, Tomas Mladek, because he’s “awesome.” “He’s a wealth of knowledge on European history, a towering tattooed hirsute Eastern European brute, a lover of ’90s hardcore ice cream bars, and proud fetishist with more bizarre sexual proclivities than any other person I know.” That about sums it up.
Empros is Russian Circles’ first full-length to be released worldwide exclusively via Sargent House, the band’s longtime management company and record label that had previously released only the vinyl editions of its three prior albums. It is available everywhere on LP, CD and Download on October 25th, 2011.
