Circa Survive - Blue Sky Noise
genre: indie rock/experimental rock
released: April 20, 2010
label: Atlantic Records
Circa Survive has been around for 6 years now, and during that time, they have gathered quite the following. Their ambient, indie experimental outfit has gained them much praise and success and rightfully so. Their debut, Juturna, was a great indie rock album with heavy influences from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and House of Leaves (which is a book everyone should read). On Letting Go hit the charts and got the band signed to a major record label. Now we have the third album, Blue Sky Noise, which is an interesting release that should be sure to please fans. There is a lot to take in throughout the album and there are many different influences evident on each track.
Blue Sky Noise has it's own identity, much like Circa Survive's previous two albums. Each album has its own distinct sound, and this new album not only creates a sound of its own, but also takes the first two albums and draws influence from there as well. Anthony Green's lyrics are still great, and they fit the music beautifully. It's got a bit of a heavier, radio rock feel to it on a bunch of songs, while still maintaining it's indie-experimental rock side with ease. The first single "Get Out" is a great song that is really catchy and heavier than previous efforts. It's a good preview for what the rest of the album has in store. The album is very melodic, much like their older LPs, and Anthony Green's guitar playing has a very big role on the album, which is quite good.
Overall, I'm still not sure whether I like the new album more than the older ones. I think I'll be able to decipher that one after a few more listens, to which I am not opposed. When all is said and done, it's a new Circa Survive album, which should be enough of a reason for you buy it. This band has put out some great music before and they follow the same trend with Blue Sky Noise. Circa Survive follows suit with a lot of their peers and makes a solid record for their major label debut, that is littered with multiple songs that could ultimately be your favorite. I definitely recommend you pick up this album when it comes out, it's one of the better albums I've heard in 2010 and that fact will resonate when Blue Sky Noise hits stores and everyone is at the register buying a copy.
Favorite tracks: Get Out, I Felt Free, Spirit of the Stairwell
For fans of: Brand New, Cursive, Silversun Pickups
