By Jessica Lumpp   Anthony Green is like Spider-man on stage. When hears music of his band, Circa Survive, surround him, he goes wild. Just like I did when my phone rang with my Circa Survive ringtone, “Living Together. “ It was the band’s press manager calling to connect me with Green, who just happens to be my favorite artist, ever. He was walking his dog with his wife in suburban Pennsylvania. But, I kind of wanted him to be doing something cooler for our chat.  Getting a tattoo?  Shopping for a Harley? Writing some new lyrics? Perhaps I just didn’t want to picture him in full-fledged husband mode because I wanted my first question to be, “Will you marry me?” He seemed relaxed and spoke in a smooth, calming tone - contrary to his manic, high-pitched singing. I successfully masked my love for him, however, and held it together to have an informative conversation with him. He had just got back from touring in the U.K., and was glad to be home despite only having 72 hours before leaving for Arizona to kick off another tour. The five-piece psychedelic rock group is hitting the road to promote its third album Blue Sky Noise, which shows a matured side of the band. “We made a natural, fluid progression from record to record,” Green said. “We wanted to make it [Blue Sky Noise] perfect.” When it came to writing this album, the band was ready for change, and that started with Colin Frangicetto, guitarist, writing the track, “I Felt Free.” “It was during a time when I was not feeling well, and I wasn’t writing anything,” Green said.  But after hearing “I Felt Free,” he thought, “This is great. Let’s mess around with it a little more.” With other members of the band writing, it allowed them to progress musically and produce a record they’ve all been yearning to create. “My writing style has always been really weird. I write weirder stuff,” Green said. The album is a strong, cohesive set of songs that Green said happened because “at the end of the day, the ones we liked all shared a similar thematic quality.” “There’s a desperate victory that happens on the album,” he said. “It’s a lot more symbolic that it happened both subconsciously and because it was reflecting what we were going through.” Success of the album can also be attributed to David Bottrill, the Grammy-winning producer, who worked on Blue Sky Noise. Green said the band chose Bottrill because he isn’t like a lot of other big producers who don’t let the band have a say in their own records. “He wanted it to be our album when we walked away at the end of the day,” Green said. “ On Circa Survive’s tour, they plan to play music from all three of their albums, but Green says we will hear a lot from the newest record.  They are making their way from the west coast to the east and will be stopping in Akron to play at Musica August 17. Green is known for bringing a lot of energy to the stage, and we are in for an exciting show. I witnessed him climbing across the ceiling on rafters over the crowd and belting out notes upside-down when they came to Cleveland back in March. I was curious if he had any antics like this planned for us, but informed him I wasn’t sure if the architecture of Musica lent itself to shimmying like a koala bear. “I don’t need anything,” he said laughing. “The music is a catalyst and makes me forget everything.” I asked him how he pulls off those perfect vocals while hanging upside-down. “They’re not perfect,” he said laughing. “I waver a lot, and I’m not super focused on making everything sound perfect. I begged to differ.  After 15 minutes of talking to him, it was proving to be more difficult than I had anticipated to not let on that I was a creepy, super fan. Finally, defeated and flattered he admitted, “Well thank you, I guess it just takes practice.”
