A PERFECT CIRCLE has returned with the new single "Starless", a song that signals a new dawn for the band.
The track will make its live debut on tour in Europe, which kicks off June 3 in London.
"Absolutely chuffed to debut this new track on stage in the U.K.", Maynard James 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.
Recorded at Billy Howerdel's Lankershim Ranch Studio in California, "Starless" was written earlier this year 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.
Tickets for all shows except Japan are available now via APerfectCircle.com.
Japanese tickets will be available June 13 at 10 a.m.
local time.
