Circus Hero
''Circus Hero'' was the only album released by Circa Zero, a band formed in August 2013 by Andy Summers and Rob Giles from The Rescues. Originally, drummer Emmanuelle Caplette was also a member of the band. Released on 25 March 2014, the album was titled after a malapropism of the band's name made by a radio disc jockey during an interview with Summers. The single "Levitation" reached number 36 on the Japan Hot 100 chart. Critical reception AllMusic praised the album's style as "articulate and progressive power pop being played in a musical landscape otherwise littered with large chamber folk ensembles and over-processed electro-pop acts." They criticized the songs "Gamma Ray", "Summer Lies", "No Highway", and "Light the Fuse and Run" as being "uninspired", but concluded that the overall effort showed Andy Summers making a strong return to the same musical style as The Police.

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands.

History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician".
