The Mole to Release Fifth Album on Circus Company

The Mole will release a new album next month. High Hopes is the Canadian artist’s fifth solo album and his second for Circus Company, following The River Widens in 2023. High Hopes comprises 17 songs that sound nothing like last month’s EP, High Dreams. We’re told to expect “a collection of moments posing as ideas posing as a narrative stuffed with oddities and surprises that reward the close listen.” The songs range “from ambient sound bath and hip-hop sludge, up to micro-boogie and almost house before tumbling back down and forth again,” write told. The Mole is joined by friends and colleagues on several songs. Rick May plays bass and Sophie Trudeau plays and arranges violins. Original collages from Antonio Carrau envelope the vinyl.
