Anthony Green on Circa Survive's Landmark 'Blue Sky Noise' Turning 10
By the end of the 2000s, Circa Survive found itself in an enviable position within the emo/post-hardcore scene. The Doylestown, Pennsylvania quintet had perfected an intoxicating formula of progressive, bleeding-heart punk anthems with yearning vocals and evocative lyrics shrouded in abstraction on 2005’s Juturna and 2007’s On Letting Go. Those two albums, both released on indie label Equal Vision Records, catapulted Circa Survive to the top of the post-hardcore heap, and the band was poised to graduate to Atlantic Records for its third full-length, Blue Sky Noise, which turns 10 today (April 20).
