Circulatory System

The Circulatory System is W. Cullen Hart (Olivia Tremor Control), John Fernandes (Olivia Tremor Control), Peter Erchick (Olivia Tremor Control, Pipes You See Pipes You Don't), Hannah Jones, Heather McIntosh (The Instruments) and Derek Almstead (ex-Of Montreal). The project unintendedly came about after the Olivia Tremor Control called it quits. John encouraged Will to finish the demos he had been working on. Their first record was released on the band's own label, Cloud Recordings, in August 2001. It was recorded over many months both at Will's home studio and at Radium Recording Studio in Athens, GA. Among the contributors were Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) and Eric Harris (Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power).

In September 2001, Will began releasing a series of CD-Rs to have available at shows. Each features individual, hand-made artwork. "Inside Views" (which features a picture of a different bird on each cover) has remixed & alternate versions of songs from the Circulatory System CD as well as more sound collages and experiments.

The band is currently working on their second record.
