On Letting Go

Circa Survive

A labyrinth of shimmering guitars and soaring, androgynous vocals. This is post-hardcore reimagined as a vivid, high-tension psychedelic dreamscape.

Find on Amazon

It's like a post-hardcore fever dream where the guitars never stop shimmering.

A high-tension, psychedelic exploration of inner turmoil and ethereal beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive opening drum fill of Living Together that sets a frantic pace immediately.
The way the guitar leads in Mandala weave together like a complex tapestry of light.
The haunting, slow-burn build of Your Friends Are Gone that concludes the album in a wash of feedback.
