After supporting [[Thrice]] and [[Pelican (band)|Pelican]] for their spring 2008 tour, Circa Survive returned to Philadelphia to write for the then-untitled third album. A short leg of shows in the Eastern U.S. occurred in late 2008 and four shows were played in [[Southern California]] in February 2009. After that, the band did not tour again until the tentatively planned headlining tour for their forthcoming third album.  Anthony Green's growth as a guitarist played a major role on ''Blue Sky Noise'', which the band framed as an entirely "new chapter".<ref>Alternative Press Issue #242, September 2008</ref>

On August 3, Circa Survive stated that they had begun recording their third album in Toronto and had chosen [[David Bottrill]] as producer. They also stated, "After completing our contract with Equal Vision we embarked on a long search to find our next home. We met with lots of labels and decided that [[Atlantic Records]] is the best place for us to continue our growth as a band and to help us release our music around the world."
