Perfect Circle confirms new album in works during Europe tour, limited release available
A Perfect Circle recently announced that they are working on new music following the release of their single “Starless” in May. Guitarist Billy Howerdel confirmed this development as the band kicked off their European tour in early June, with the first show taking place in London. The band seems to be gearing up for the release of a new studio album as they continue to create fresh material.
In a recent radio interview, Howerdel hinted at the progress they are making on the new album without revealing any specific details or release dates. He mentioned that being on tour makes it challenging to focus on recording, but they are dedicated to working on new music. Howerdel expressed the need for some downtime to fully immerse himself in the creative process during breaks in the tour schedule.
A Perfect Circle, formed by Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan in 1999, gained popularity with their debut album “Mer de Noms,” which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2000. Songs like “Judith,” “3 Libras,” and “The Hollow” helped establish the band as a formidable force in the rock music scene. Subsequent albums like “Thirteenth Step” in 2003 and “eMOTIVe” in 2004 further solidified their place as a prominent rock band.
Their most recent album, “Eat The Elephant,” released in 2018, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart. A Perfect Circle has a successful track record of selling out iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden, the Hollywood Bowl, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, showcasing their enduring popularity among fans.
The band recorded “Starless” at Lankershim Ranch Studio in Studio City, California, with Josh Freese on drums. The track was produced by Howerdel and mixed by Matty Green. Fans can now purchase a limited edition seven-inch vinyl of “Starless” in silver/black and white with sea blue and black splatter variants, featuring a custom etching of the band’s crescent logo on the B-side.
As A Perfect Circle continues to evolve and create new music, fans eagerly anticipate the release of their upcoming studio album. With a rich history of critically acclaimed albums and sold-out performances, the band’s latest endeavors are sure to captivate audiences worldwide.
