There’s a kind of geometry to ISHE’s music, though not the neat, Euclidean kind that sits politely on a whiteboard. In Circles is less compass and ruler, more chalk smudged on asphalt after rain - patterns drawn and redrawn until they blur into something more alive than accurate. This three-track EP finds the Denver producer, long a fixture behind decks and mixers, cutting deeper into a mood-driven language that’s as much about suggestion as declaration.

The title track doesn’t spiral so much as it orbits, pulling the listener into a gravity well of delayed synths and ghostly vocal fragments. It’s music that hints at emotional collapse but never succumbs, like someone pacing the same room at 3 a.m. trying to remember if they left the light on. “Auroras” shifts the focus outward, bright washes of sound climbing into the sky and then curdling with just enough tension to remind you that even the most radiant display is caused by collisions at the edge of the atmosphere. Closing piece “Right 4 U” offers the most direct emotional hit - not a ballad in any traditional sense, but a dance track with its guard briefly lowered, revealing the soft machinery of longing underneath the rhythm.

What makes In Circles work is ISHE’s restraint. These tracks don’t try to dazzle with excessive flourishes or show-off complexity. Instead, they carry themselves with a kind of unhurried confidence: textures ebb and flow, vocals haunt rather than dominate, beats emerge like shadows from fog. The result is intimate without being suffocating, melancholic without surrendering to gloom.

Denver may not be the first dot on the map when people talk about electronic music capitals, but ISHE has been quietly proving for years that geography is irrelevant when your sense of atmosphere is this finely tuned. In Circles is not just an EP - it’s a small constellation of moods, three glowing points connected by invisible lines, waiting for the listener to sketch their own meanings between them.
