Examples

“Now again in the latter summer do those Kings of the Niblungs ride⟳ To chase⟳ the sons of the plunder that curse the ocean-side: So over the oaken rollers they run⟳ the cutters down Till fair in the first of the deep are the glittering bows up-thrown; But, shining wet⟳ and steel-clad, men leap⟳ from the surfy shore, And hang⟳ their shields on the gunwale, and cast⟳ abroad the oar; Then full to the outer ocean swing⟳ round the golden beaks, And Sigurd sits by the tiller and the host⟳ of the spoilers seeks.”

“All this is set⟳ to a driving backdrop of hard, slightly surfy, surprisingly powerful strumming.”

“They do a kind of surfy version of New Order⟳, bright and clattery, a minimalist collision of the 1950s and the 1980s.”
