Formation and Origins of Circulatory System

Circulatory System is a band that originated from the eclectic music scene of Athens, Georgia, known for its psychedelic rock influences. Formed by Will Cullen Hart, an artist with roots in the Elephant Six Collective—a notable group of musicians recognized for their collaborative approach and impact on the indie music scene—Circulatory System arose from the ashes of The Olivia Tremor Control after its disbandment in 2000. Hart, along with other former members, established Circulatory System, which also saw occasional studio contributions from Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, though he was not a regular performer with the band.

Artistic Style and Inspirations

Circulatory System's music is a fusion of indie rock, psychedelic pop, and elements of folk, resulting in an experimental yet approachable sound. The band's artistic direction is heavily influenced by the Elephant Six Collective's DIY spirit and admiration for 1960s psychedelic rock and pop. Their music features complex arrangements and a playful quality, often utilizing a diverse array of instruments and sound effects to create unique auditory experiences. This has placed them within the neo-psychedelia genre, which revives and reinterprets the psychedelic music of the 1960s.
