Circa Survive and
Saosin frontman
Anthony Green returned in 2016 with his first solo LP in three years,
Pixie Queen, his fourth overall. It continues to explore more reflective emo-pop in contrast to his noisier bands. Acoustic guitar ruminations like "Will It Be" and "Cellar" offer
Green at his sparest, while a full band reinforces the majority of the LP, such as on its affectionate title track. As for the
Pixie Queen's identity, consider that
Green's wife appears alone behind a campfire on the album's cover. ~ Marcy Donelson
