Call it a Flare-up. After years of scarceness, several albums by Flare, a chamber-pop-with-a-shoegazer-twist outfit, have been refit and rereleased-including 2000's Circa, newly souped-up with four rare or unreleased bonus tracks as Circa+. Gay front man LD Beghtol (also of Moth Wranglers and the upcoming LD & the New Criticism) cushions his haunting crooning within superlush, ornate arrangements of strings, piano, and instrumental eclectica. The beauteous title track verges on epic, while a stunning cover of Kid Montana's "Anywhere (Like the Moon)" brings to mind the 4AD label's otherworldly roster (particularly This Mortal Coil). Speaking of which, the bonus tracks include a Lisa Germano cover, "Lovesick," which edges into expressionistic creepiness, and the swirling closer, "Some Words on Parting."
