SUMMARY:Circa Survive
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nModern bands often seem faced with the choice betwe
 en being challenging and being accessible. These ideas tend to be presente
 d as opposite poles\, two irreconcilable objectives that cannot co-exist w
 ithout one taking precedence over the other. The time where unabashedly un
 conventional bands could engage the masses has long since past and those h
 eavyweights have been relegated to the shelves of “classic rock\,” wit
 h high concepts and grandeur replaced by irony and painful self-awareness.
  But for Circa Survive there exists another option\, one where huge ideas 
 and unbridled imagination can commingle with nuance and vulnerability. In 
 their world\, this dichotomy is not only achievable\, it's essential\, and
  it fuels the band's dauntless sixth full-length\, The Amulet.From the rel
 ease of their 2005 debut\, Juturna\, to their 2010 major label release\, B
 lue Sky Noise\, to today with The Amulet\, Circa Survive has made a career
  of turning all of the things that make them difficult to categorize into 
 their greatest strengths. The word “progressive” is often used to desc
 ribe their sound\, and while this term doesn’t really do justice to the 
 band's distinct identity\, it does conjure the scope and ambition of those
  iconic bands from decades ago\, the ones that managed to capture the atte
 ntion of mainstream audiences without sacrificing their esoteric tendencie
 s. On The Amulet\, Circa Survive continues this legacy\, but filtered thro
 ugh the unique lens of their punk and alternative roots. Drawing on the ra
 w power of punk and post-hardcore\, the earnestness of emotional alternati
 ve\, and the unrestrained experimentation of art rock\, the band effortles
 sly creates a sound that can be compared to very few\, but appeal to many.
  The Amulet's mix of intricate guitars\, muscular bass\, and interlocking 
 drums creates a dynamic foundation for vocalist Anthony Green’s unparall
 eled voice\; however\, the magic of Circa Survive isn’t just technical s
 kill\, it’s an ability to blend that technicality with undeniable sense 
 of melody and hooks. It’s this focus on uncompromising yet satisfying so
 ngwriting that compels listeners\, no matter their genre-of-choice. Circa 
 Survive’s sonic palette isn’t the only thing with which the band fearl
 essly experiments. The band’s use of overarching lyrical concepts from a
 lbum to album has become just as pivotal to their identity. For Green\, no
  idea is too big or too small\, and everything can be explored with the sa
 me mix of wonderment\, dark fascination\, harrowing honesty\, and hope. Th
 e Amulet pushes this approach to a demanding new level as Green examines p
 arallels between the world ending\, our chaotic social and political clima
 te\, and the very intimate strain of personal upheavals. A loss of innocen
 ce ties these drastically different threads together: a sense that certain
  events can irreparably change our perspectives and make it impossible to 
 view our world\, our governments\, or our personal lives through the same 
 rose colored glasses. Although many of the album's themes are dark and for
 midable\, there is a sense of hopefulness\n\n\n\nthat shines through The A
 mulet. Death is tied to birth\, unrest is tied to revolution\, emotional p
 ain is tied to personal growth\, and the only way to reach catharsis is to
  first lean into the storm. The Amulet is meant to be a tangible manifesta
 tion of that catharsis\, the kind of relief that comes from accepting the 
 pain of loss—personal\, socio-political\, and cosmic—and moving forwar
 d. These themes even apply to the band itself with Green saying\, "the way
  the band was when it started is dead and this record feels like a bit of 
 a rebirth in a lot of ways. Time has just weathered us\, we got through th
 e hard times and came out the other end\, and I feel like this is the pinn
 acle of the band personally and creatively. It’s the most clear and conc
 ise version of what we are."After 13 years as a band\, Circa Survive are n
 o strangers to pushing sonic and lyrical boundaries\, yet The Amulet still
  finds the band diving even farther into the deep end\, pushing themselves
  to create brand new sounds\, and taking on ideas that stretch from the un
 iversal to the most personal. In a musical landscape that seems predispose
 d towards instant gratification\, Circa Survive may appear to be made from
  a mold that no longer exists\, but fitting with modern bands or icons of 
 the past has never been their goal. Circa Survive dares to ask more of the
 mselves and their listeners—old and new—and in return they offer a sou
 ndtrack for the bold\, the sincere\, and the inquisitive.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
