Billy Howerdel, best known as co-founder and guitarist of A Perfect Circle, has created his solo project called Ashes Divide. Its debut album, entitled “Keep Telling Myself It’s Alright“, is due on April 8 via Island/Def Jam. The CD is preceded by the single “The Stone”, which can be heard in its entirety at myspace.com/ashesdivide.
Except for Billy Howerdel, who handled almost everything on the record (vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards), “Keep Telling Myself It’s Alright” features a lot of gurest contributions by a.o. A Perfect Circle’s Josh Freese (drums), and Devo Keenan (cello), the son of Maynard James Keenan.
