DeBaser hosts a single, wry review of Circle, the Boom Bip & Doseone collaboration on Mush Records. The reviewer praises the risky, out-there ideas but criticizes flat structures and repetitive formulas. Standout mention goes to The Birdcatcher’s Return as the lone single worth spotlighting. Recommended for listeners chasing Boom Bip’s atmospheres or Doseone’s early evolution.
