Since we are on the subject of Circa Survive, I have always wanted to write a piece on Anthony Green since he is one of my favorite vocalists. Anthony Green hails from Doylestown, Pennsylvania and was active in many bands including Audience of One and Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer. Before Circa Survive, he was well known by being part of the post-hardcore act Saosin from Los Angeles, California and released their highly influential EP Translating the Name. After a year of being with the band and unpleased with the direction of the band's music, Anthony Green left the band and returned to his home in Doylestown. He later met up with his good friend, Colin Frangicetto, who was a member of the now defunct band This Day Forward. They started jamming and formed what is now Circa Survive. Since their formation, the band has released three albums, Juturna, On Letting Go and their current album (which is released in stores today) Blue Sky Noise. While being the frontman of Circa Survive, he is also a member of The Sound of Animals Fighting, a highly experimental act consisting of members from Rx Bandits, Finch, Chiodos, Days Away and The Autumns. He has also released a solo record entitled Avalon and was recorded in Avalon, New Jersey. The record was more stripped down with a more indie folk appeal and focuses more on Green's talents on the acoustic guitar. Currently, Anthony Green and Circa Survive will be touring in promotion of their latest record and word has it, he is currently working on a follow-up to Avalon.

Vocals Ripping In Half

In honor of the release of Circa Survive's third album, Blue Sky Noise, I have decided to post their video for this single off that album, "Get Out". The video was shot in a simplistic fashion and features clips of the band during recording and other random situations. From the guitars to the drums, the instrumentation on the track is absolutely stellar. The band has come a long way from their Juturna days and the band just keeps getting better and better. The track's biggest strength, however, comes from none other than the band's frontman, Anthony Green. The first time I heard this track, it literally sounded like Green's vocals was going to rip the track in half. From high-pitched wails while switching off to his signature almost falsetto-like singing, this really shows Green's versatility as a vocalist. From the impression I got from listening to "Get Out", I can only imagine what the rest of Blue Sky Noise will sound like. Already I am excited over the release and I can't wait to pick up the album. If you have not gotten a chance to listen to the new track by Circa Survive, check out the video below. Also, Blue Sky Noise is out today in stores so don't forget to pick it up at your nearest record store.

Painting Blue Sky Noise

I read on Circa Survive's website that they were in they have finished recording their third full-length album entitled Blue Sky Noise. It was announced by the band that the album will be released on April 20, 2010. The cover art was done by Esao Andrews, who has done the cover art for Circa Survive's previous two albums, Juturna and On Letting Go. Esao Andrews paintings are absolutely amazing. It has this strange, almost eerie quality that makes the artwork so beautiful and mesmerizing. If you want to know more about about Esao Andrews and his art collection, click HERE or go to his website. The cover art for Circa Survive's third album, Blue Sky Noise is featured below. As an added bonus, a time lapse video is also featured below that showcases the painting process of the art.
