Circa Survive leaves Equal Vision
Circa Survive are now free agents. Steve Clifford made the announcement on their official forum:
We are free agents right now. A few files of song ideas have been shared within the band. Pretty sure we won’t go back to McTernan this time, although he is a good friend. Yes, he did record Juturna and 3/4 of the Inuit Sessions. I agree that sonically they are pretty similar. He also recorded youinseries, and skyeatsairplane for EVR.
The band released On Letting Go last year.
