Meet Stellar Circuits
“Formed in 2015, Stellar Circuits emerged to combine the conceptual polarities of groove-oriented music with progressive-minded technicality. Comprised of vocalist Ben Beddick, bassist Jesse Olsen, guitarist Jared Stamey and drummer Tyler Menon, the North Carolina quartet followed their 2015 debut EP with their first full-length album in 2018. Ways We Haunt was recorded with North Carolina’s own Jamie King, a legend in his own right, bringing his signature touch to Stellar Circuits’ first long form release. A national tour with Chevelle followed. The band signed to Nuclear Blast and released Sight to Sound. It saw the band working once again with Jamie King to convey their growth and expansion on what they do best.“
