Circa Survive
A Dream About Love

Release Date: 2021 | Tracklist

A Dream About Love is quite an appropriate title. On Circa Survives new EP the whole atmosphere is shiny yet also grim with a drowning mesh of instrumentation, but still feels fully realized. It is definitely a dreamy state of sound. The music in all aspects cuts deep whether it is Anthony Green singing his heart out after building up a song for a couple minutes or just cuts straight to the jugular with lyrics of heartbreak. Either way A Dream About Love can boast its biggest accomplishment as being a well rounded piece of music that fully moves the listener into a new mentality from where they were before. The guitars are beautiful and lush, the bass and drums hit hard despite being a collection of slow tempos, and the production is just perfect. Many will say this is the best thing they've done since Juturna, BSN, or Appendage, but none of that really matters. This is a Circa Survive that is taking all of their best elements and looking to still be creative in a way that covers all the bases of a fresh album. Despite being only an EP A Dream About Love captures everything most people want from Circa. Almost fan service, but not quite. More so just a band that is coming off a great success in Amulet and still finding themselves filled with ambitious songwriting. If they ever decide to become a more aggressive band with this mastery of rock soundscapes and angelic vocals, watch the *** out.
