Circa Survive Band • Page 145

Drift is accessible Circa at it's best. I'm still not bored of it.

We were lucky enough to get a good Live recording of it too.

 

A VENGEFUL GOD

 

If anyone's interested, I wrote a personal reflection/retrospective to celebrate Juturna turning 20 today!

20 Years of Juturna

 

really lovely and touching writeup, great stuff there

can't believe that album is 20, surreal

 

Still one of the best albums ever

 

had no idea this was turning 20 this year.
I have a ton of memories to this album. I had moved out of parents house at 19 states away.
I had loved Sao so was keeping tabs. But at the time didn’t have smart phones so would follow music news at the college computer lab maybe once a week. Couldn’t wait for this album to come out. I would go to indie music stores (or Best Buy) and pick up new stuff every week. I drove all around Orlando at night listening to this album on repeat. Exploring new areas. There is a turn around a well to do neighborhood that I still think about anytime I listen to this album. Plus, film school major at the time and lyrics referencing Eternal Sunshine? Yes please. I went to many shows alone during this time. I had tickets to the Sao shows that were cancelled when he quit the band so I was not going to miss any chance to see him. They opened for Dredg on that first tour. It was great. They closed with Oh Hello and he fell into the drums knocking a couple of them loose and over. He was standing outside smoking cigarettes and I asked him he would sign my ticket. It’s now framed with the OLG booklet and a gig poster from St Louis. I’ve now seen him and his other bands countless times but career long fandom wouldn’t happen without Juturna.
