"Our album "The Circle" is a tribute to the people around us. It's about listening to each other and being there for one another, sharing brief moments with strangers, friendships, and team spirit - and creating something more precious through these aspects than one could ever achieve alone. Many musical inspirations for "The Circle" came from encounters on our travels. In the 11 pieces, we have captured experiences we have shared with each other and with many wonderful people we have met through our music and who have become part of our lives. The attempt to create a particularly colorful album, blurring the boundaries between genres while uniting our different musical approaches, was an exciting experience. One of the most thrilling moments in the creation of this album was bringing together musicians from around the world to jam together on the title track: from a Chinese Guzheng, Indian Tablas, and Turkish Oud to American slide guitar. With this album, we want to invite you to become part of our "Circle." We hope our music conveys the same sense of togetherness that inspired us to the pieces on this album." - Bjarke Falgren & Sönke Meinen
