Circa has also been releasing photos using hashtag #LP5. Which is obviously about a new album Circa is currently recording. Is there a title you could share
or will it be called LP5? What could we expect from Circas new album?
This is by far the trippiest circa record ever. It's very weird. It's faster and more aggressive. Expect an album of songs that I love and am more emotionally and spiritually connected to than any circa record ever. It's either going to be called the raise and fall of circa survive , drug farts,
or something totally different .
#LP5
What point is the album at in the production stage? Almost done? Any lyrics you could share from the new Circa Survive LP5 coming out this fall?
I'm finishing the vocals today and the guitars should be done in a few days. But we still have mixing And stuff. The record won't be out until the summer is way over I think. I don't like giving to much away but one lyric is , we mustn't let this die. Hahha that's not giving away to much....
Anything you want to say about new music from circa survive?
I feel more connected to it than I ever have a circa record. It has helped restore my sanity and save my life in a way. Will yip producing and helping writing has a big part in that. It's the first time we have ever written a record 100 % in the studio. Went in with almost nothing and came out with something spectacular. Will yip is a genius and so fun to work with.
How is life as a musician with a wife and kids? Is it more difficult then without?
I consider myself a family man at heartI can't imagine making anything of real substance without them by my side. They are my best friends. Nothing in my life was ever easy. Nothing provided me with as much joy then loving and being loved by my wife and children. I never new that kind of love before. They give everything in my life new light and meaning so they make being a full time musician ten times more gratifying. Nothing is easy. You have to find something worth suffering for.
What is one thing your fans would be surprised to know about you?
I don't really know, can't say I have any sort of grip on how people look at me from the outside so it's hard to say what would surprise them
HOPE has a very big message within the music community, What does HOPE mean to you & How do you promote it?
Hope is a dangerous thing. I consider myself a realist and sometimes I see hope as a way for myself not to
have to let something go. Faith is more important to me. Not to a god but to the love energy or force that guides all things. That creates balance. The knowledge that the is no light without dark and dark without life. That everything comes full circle. That faith has gotten me through the most hopeless times is my life. Music with always be there. I have faith in that.
Anything you wish to say to your past, current or future fans?
Thanks for your attention.
