Song of the Week, 1/27: Circa Survive- " Stare Like You'll Stay"


What is it?: In November 2010, Circa Survive released the Appendage EP, featuring b-sides from Blue Sky Noise and the demo version of "Sleep Underground."  As with anything associated with Blue Sky Noise, this EP holds some of Circa Survive's best work.  That statement might be misleading because their "best work" is actually a laundry list of several tracks off each release that somehow outdo the rest.  Nevertheless,  vocalist Anthony Green goes above and beyond in these hidden gems, both accentuating his impressive range and thoughtful, metaphoric lyrics.


Why is it Song of the Week?:  On January 10th, Circa Survive guitarist Brendan Ekstrom revealed via Twitter that the band is writing a new record.  Wanna know what's better that news of a new Circa album? Nothing, that's what.  Therefore, in honor of the unofficial album announcement, Keep Calm and Carry On's Song of the Week is my favorite Circa Survive song "Stare Like You'll Stay."
