BLUE SKY NOISE

I'll be perfectly honest. Circa are not a prog band. They are a true-to-god Indie rock band. Whilst I would not usually even contemplate listening to Indie, Circa have always been one of the bands to grab my attention. This was propelled even further with this effort, a great display of spangly production and great guitar work. At times, they sound like Coheed and Cambria, at other times they sound like Fall of Troy. Particular highlights are "Get Out", "The Longest Mile" and "Glass Arrows", not to mention the brilliant "Frozen Creek", easily Circas best song to date. The few flaws in it are the fact that the songs are generally more pop-orientated than on On Letting Go or Juturna. This isn't always a bad thing, but occassionally it does fall on it's face a bit. On the whole, a great album which will please the fans a lot.
