[edit] Style The quartet's music has been characterized by raw vocal harmonies, driving rhythims, guitar sound Complex song structures, instrumental interludes, and obscure samples, and a chunky vs smoothe guitar combination. Columbia Circles lyrics, penned in large part by Litzenberg, and Nimgonkhar, could only be described as the bitter sweet rntings of a drunkin scribe. examples underground outbound, and 4 milee puddle:

Papers leaking ink on fingers brittle from chasing from pushing days to nigt / Grab for the rubber coated railing  / This train is sinking / feels like your drowning but It's just a tunnel for your next trick / Youll spend a life time in a box  /  It's just an illusion / The sun rained a million miles for twelve hours you didn't catch a drop / This is an illusion you've told the audience / And so you've told yourself /

Joe says hell stand outside this gate and spare for change nickles and dimes hit the but miss the point / "I'm leaving when its full" so joe says / and I believed him when the air stil smelled sweet as the win blew through burgeoning new leaves / but now the grass is frozen thin and brown to fallen leaves /

[edit] The best part 7" Columbia Circle's first recording, recorded in Fremont, California, and released in 2002, was a combination of slightly poppy punk and grating hardcore. The album has been characterized as a post-punk album with a prog shene, a description that fails to account for Columbia Circle's subtle poetic/artistic nature. Though it only contained four songs, the record had a sad maturity with literary aspirations.

[edit] Blind origomy By 2002 Columbia Circle had inspired a following at 924 Gilman Street, a Berkeley venue. The band had been playing,and writing songs for a new album, Due however to lack of funds the band pressd another 7", Blind Origomy, which was recorded in spring of 2002 in a San Jose warehouse where bassist Kier was now living, to avoid the high cost of living in San Francisco. The record was like a new layer of skin smoother and more refined, with more complex arragements, featuring instrumental breakdowns and the familier infusion of call-and-response interplay among the instruments.
