A PERFECT CIRCLE return 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/U.K. tour in eight years.
“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, Calif., ‘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.
