They introduced more instruments into the band’s sound, including a prominently featured Fender Rhodes piano, organ, horns, and woodwinds.
The band released an accompanying DVD of 20 music videos for Talk In Circles entitled See In Squares.
Spin magazine described “Evil Son” (the first single off the album) as “enlivened with lush orchestral arrangements and a pregnant guitar solo straight out of a 1960s acid trip.” Spin also went on to say, “Other tracks such as 'Jubilee' evoke blues, folk and even country influences, showcasing the Willowz’ carefully honed stylistic prowess.

The record focuses on a more power pop sound and sees the band getting back to their garage rock roots.
