Release info: Founded by Robert Pollard, completed by the Tobias brothers Todd and Tim, Ohio's Circus Devils have been lurking under the radar since 2001. They're back with two new albums for 2013, both released on the same day!

On When Machines Attack, the trio delivers a collection of eighteen sonic postcards from a probable future forecasting civilization's approaching doom and the opportunities to cash in. The cast of improbable characters on display includes the "Controller" who introduces the album, along with Johnny Dart, Bad Earthman, Doberman Wasp, The Brain of the Iron Fist, and more. A satisfyingly unsettling listen from top to bottom (or perhaps unsettlingly satisfying?), it's perfect for late-night car trips - driving alone, of course. Keep watching the skies!

Released on the same day as My Mind Has Seen The White Trick. Machines had the music recorded first and the vocals added afterwards. Trick had the vocals recorded first and then the music added afterwards.

White Trick was originally going to be a new side project titled ESP Ohio. But when Todd finished it Bob admitted that it sounded just like Circus Devils, so it became a Circus Devils album and Bob decided to release both on the same day.

Each will be limited to 700 LP's and 1000 CD's worldwide.
