[PREORDER] Russian Circles - Nine

Indie Exclusive Vinyl, Gatefold

Nine is the ninth album from Chicago instrumental trio Russian Circles. As on Blood Year (2019) and Gnosis (2022), the band worked with engineer Kurt Ballou, tracking at Electrical Audio in Chicago and GodCity in Salem in March 2026, with the nylon-string solo piece "Arletta" recorded by Dave Catching at Rancho De La Luna and mastering by Alan Douches. The cover photographs Tony Tasset's sculpture Snowpile for Chicago, on display at the Chicago Public Library's West Town Branch since 2004 - the year the band formed. "Empath" is the lead single.

This is the indie exclusive pressing, housed in a gatefold jacket.
