The Heavy Circles is the partnership of Edie Brickell and her stepson Harper Simon (from a previous marriage of Edie's husband Paul Simon). We still know Brickell from the hits Circle and What I Am. Although she released a record in 2006 with her regular backing band The New Bohemians, her role on the hit front has been over for some time. This is Harper Simon's first achievement. His role within
… The Heavy Circles is as a guitarist, bassist and producer, so the man in the background. He proves himself as a tasteful musician, with an ear for detail - just listen to the beautiful soundscapes of Wait And Wait - without losing sight of the loose feel. But it is Brickell's vocals that draw attention in ten tasteful, melodic pop rock songs. The pair received help from well-known acquaintances and friends such as Martha Wainwright, Sean Lennon and Joan 'As Policewoman' Wasser. (MS)more
