Picture
2010 was an eventful year for Circa Survive, with the release of their third studio album and second EP. "Blue Sky Noise" is probably the most complete album yet by this Philadelphia band. It sustains through all 16 tracks, which can't necessarily be said for the last two albums. As far as progressive indie rock goes, Circa Survive has set a pretty high standard for 2011. Listening to the latest releases, seasoned fans will admire the maturity and chemistry. The rest of the band has finally caught up with frontman, Anthony Green and his enormous vocal presence.The lyrics on these works are highly conceptual, in the sense that you're sort of transported to another place. Most remarkable about these two works is the massive improvement shown overall. The music is much tighter, more energetic and calculated, particularly with percussion. The aptly titled "Appendage" EP is just that, an appendage to accompany the studio album released months prior. It contains b-sides and a demo that hardcore fans will definitely appreciate. When we look back on Circa Survive years from now, we'll recall "Blue Sky Noise" as when they turned that corner and found the sound for which they'd strived, and left indie fans saying, "Saosin who...?". The "Appendage" EP is the cherry on top.
