Weird World

Weird World is an independent record label that was established in 2011. In partnership with *l61623*, this label has quickly become a prominent player in the music industry. With their unique and diverse roster of artists, Weird World continues to push boundaries and challenge conventions.

As an authoritative figure in the music e-commerce world, Weird World offers a wide range of genres and styles for music enthusiasts to explore. From experimental electronic sounds to indie rock anthems, there is something for everyone on this label's impressive catalogue.

With their *LC 27862* label code, Weird World ensures quality releases that are both artistically innovative and technically sound. Their commitment to supporting emerging talent while also nurturing established acts sets them apart from other labels in the industry.

Richard Dawson is the diminutive Geordie troubadour whose moving songs have been described as state-of-the-nation addresses, even - or perhaps especially - when he’s singing about pre-medieval peasants. Circle are the genre-straddling pioneers of The New Wave Of Finnish Heavy Metal, known for wearing spandex or dead fish onstage and singing in a made-up language. Together they are… Richard Dawson and Circle! and release their collaborative album Henki, via Weird World. Their epic joint record might seem a departure to those who are most familiar with Dawson from recent solo albums like 2017’s Peasant and 2020 (released in 2019). In fact, Henki fits comfortably into the bigger picture of two acts who have always strived for uninhibited originality. True to its name, while Henki is influenced, in part by heavy-metal bands, it does not sound like any metal album you will have heard before. For one thing, few metal albums are filled with songs about plants. Inspired by Circle’s guitarist Janne Westerlund instructing the group during recording to be less straightforward and more “like a plant”, each of Henki’s seven tracks deal with special plants throughout history.
