Архив новостей | Русская версия
A PERFECT CIRCLE has returned with "Starless", a new single from Billy Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan that signals a new dawn for the band, arriving days before they launch their first European tour in eight years. Watch the official visualizer here.
"Absolutely chuffed to debut this new track on stage in the U.K.," Keenan shares. "Of course I'm excited to release the recordings but our songs always take on an expanded personality once we start playing them live."
Unmistakably A PERFECT CIRCLE, "Starless" moves between muscular, guitar-driven intensity and delicate, intricate passages, with the precision that has long defined the band's work.
Recorded at Howerdel's Lankershim Ranch Studio in Studio City, California, "Starless" was written earlier this year, produced by Howerdel and mixed by Matty Green (U2, FLORENCE + THE MACHINE, TV ON THE RADIO) and features longtime collaborator Josh Freese on drums.
"Some songs get kicked around and massaged for years," Howerdel says. "But once in a while, one takes shape quickly, as if it had been there all along."
A limited-edition "Starless" seven-inch single is also available now via Revolver. Featuring a custom etching of the band's famous crescent logo on the B-side and a custom seven-inch adapter, the vinyl release arrives on two variants: silver/black, and white with sea blue and black splatter.
Formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and vocalist Maynard James Keenan, A PERFECT CIRCLE quickly established itself as a powerful new voice in alternative rock with the release of "Mer De Noms" (2000),which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and became the highest-charting debut rock album of its time. Featuring fan favorites "Judith", "3 Libras" and "The Hollow", the platinum-selling album remains a defining release. Their catalog has continued to resonate, from "Thirteenth Step" (2003) and "eMOTIVe" (2004),to 2018's "Eat The Elephant", which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
A PERFECT CIRCLE has headlined festivals worldwide, sold out iconic venues including the Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and appeared on late night television shows including "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "The Tonight Show".
