Otherwoman break the cycle with long-awaited streaming release of 'Circles'

After turning heads with their chart-scaling debut ‘Who Is The Otherwoman’, the enigmatic collective Otherwoman return with the long-anticipated streaming release of their second single, ‘Circles’.

First released as an exclusive on their limited edition CD — which debuted at #6 on the Aotearoa album charts — ‘Circles’ has since circulated through underground channels: via Bandcamp, live shows, and collector’s discs. Now, fans who missed the physical drop can finally stream the track in full, as the band cautiously opens their catalogue to the digital mainstream.

A haunting exploration of addiction, mental illness, and the painful loops of personal and global history, ‘Circles’ is as emotionally heavy as it is sonically bold. Fusing elements of indie rock, trap metal, and a distinct nod to early 2000s nu-metal, the track pushes genre boundaries while staying fiercely grounded in Otherwoman’s ethos: unfiltered, urgent, and unapologetically experimental.

As a taste of what’s to come on their upcoming album Lilith, ‘Circles’ confirms what their debut hinted at — Otherwoman aren’t just resisting the algorithm; they’re rewriting the rules.
