Reception

The Fire Note's Simon Workman wrote,

Circus Devils never make the same album twice. Whether it’s the claustrophobic horror-rock screeches of the debut (2001), the twisted spaghetti western rock of Gringo (2009), or the jazzier experimental pop sounds of 2013's My Mind Has Seen The White Trick, the band has always been about stretching boundaries and exploring new sonic territory. At the same time, the band hasn’t shied away from accessible pop hooks either. So it should come as no surprise that Escape is both different and catchy, but just how different and catchy is a little alarming at first. Escape may be the quietest album Pollard has ever released (its only rival being his Cosmos collaboration with Richard Davies), but once you get over the initial shock it quickly becomes clear it’s also one of the best.[1]
