Album Review: The Amulet by Circa Survive

The Amulet is the kind of release that’s capable of capturing a new audience. I would know, because this is my first legitimate experience with Circa Survive after years of sample-listening and vague intrigue that never culminated in a full, proper listen. There are plenty of reasons for that, and I’m entirely to blame, but there’s still something about this album – perhaps its overwhelming maturity and beautiful cohesiveness – that seems to elevate the entire band to a new level worth investigating.
