Flobots- The Circle in the Square
by Tim Wenger
One of the biggest names to come out of Denver in recent years, Flobots, have finally released the follow up to 2010’s Survival Story. The album gets right to work where the band left off, with stunning social commentary laid over catchy instrumentation. The title track, “The Circle in the Square,” starts the record off by labeling themselves and those that follow their message as exactly what they are, the circle in the square.
Flobots showcase their trademark viola-driven, light alternative/hip-hop hybrid in its most evolved state throughout the record. Jonny 5 and Brer Rabbit have been writing mature and relevant lyrics throughout the career of the band, but with this latest release, they seek to awaken the mind of the listener at one of the most crucial times for our country and humanity as a whole. “#Occupy War” and “Stop The Apocalypse” are perfect presentations by a band that is known for so much more than their music, but continue to hold their reputation together with some of the most original music coming out of a state flooded with musicians.
