Circle Gets the Square is Kevin Devine's first studio album as a solo artist.

The songs featured on the album dramatically contrast with those of Miracle of 86, a band in which Kevin was the lead singer and guitarist.

Kevin believed that the style and themes of his songs did not represent the band's music well.

The pressing was limited to 750 copies, 250 of which are coloured "Maroon with Black Smoke", an exclusive version on Enjoy the Ride Records' webstore.

All of those copies include an internet code for a digital download of the remastered audio of the original album.
