CirclesMike DoughtyGenre: Indie & AlternativeDescription: 2013 album from the former Soul Coughing frontman. Circles is an album that finds him reinventing select songs originally performed by Soul Coughing. After years of not playing the songs of the band he founded in the '90s Doughty says the motivation to re-explore his old songs grew from writing his memoir The Book of Drugs. 'After my memoir which was full of pain I picked up a guitar and by myself went through the songs I wrote in the '90s -- between the ages of 20 and 29 -- to figure out who I was where I was and what I was trying to say' he recalls. ' I think the songs can be better than they were. I can make the actual songs more hearable. I think I can make them more like what I intended them to be.' The album was recorded in Brooklyn with producer Good Goose (Menya Ninjasonik Mac Lethal Homeboy Sandman).
