Making Circles by The Seldon Plan The Seldon Plan : Making Circles.
 Sophisticated rock with emo undercurrents.

The highly nuanced indie rock of The Seldon Plan combines clean, lilting harmonies with a brooding emo undercurrent...kind of like if Brian Wilson and Ian MacKaye had co-produced a Cure album. The real life producers of Making Circles are every bit the fantasy pairing too: Frank Marchand is known for his work with Bob Mould and Good Charlotte, and Charlie Pilzer for his with Ida and The Kennedys. Together, they helped The Seldon Plan perfect its thoughtful, polished sound while leaving in all the dire elements that keep it from being too settled or safe. Better yet, Making Circles is absolutely riddled with standout tracks including "Holding Patterns Are Slow," and "Top Left Corner," a mesmerizingly beautiful and poignant song.
