'90s Supergroup Makes Exclusive Announcement on First Song in Eight Years
A Perfect Circle has given fans another reason to celebrate the release of its new single "Starless."
The ‘90s supergroup, widely celebrated for its signature hits like "Judith" and "The Outsider", dropped a special announcement.
As its new song marked the band's first major return in eight years following the 2018 album Eat the Elephant, the band revealed a limited-edition vinyl release of "Starless."
In an Instagram post, A Perfect Circle introduced a 7-inch vinyl record available in two exclusive colors. One is silver & black, while the other is white with sea blue & black splatter, sold through Revolver Magazine.
"What is the new single called? @aperfectcircle "Starless" 7" available via @revolvermag, pressed on two exclusive colors, "Silver & Black A-Side/B-Side" and "White w/ Sea Blue & Black Splatter" colored vinyl with an etched B-side of the APC crescents.? Both variants are foil-numbered, limited to only 1,000 and come with a custom-branded A Perfect Circle 45-adapter," the caption reads along with a clip of frontman Maynard James Keenan.
A Perfect Circle, which comprises members of influential rock groups like The Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Eagles of Death Metal and Ashes Divide. Joining Keenan are Billy Howerdel on lead and rhythm guitars, James Iha on rhythm guitar and keyboards, Matt McJunkins on bass and Josh Freese on drums and percussion. The band officially released the song on May 27, making it its first standalone track since 2018.
Howerdel produced the single at his Lankershim Ranch Studio in Studio City, California alongside Grammy-nominated audio engineer Matty Green, who has worked with Florence + the Machine and U2.
"Absolutely chuffed to debut this new track on stage in the U.K," he said in an interview as cited by Blabbermouth. "Of course I'm excited to release the recordings, but our songs always take on an expanded personality once we start playing them live."
The new song came one month before the band's first U.K. and European tour in eight years.
The supergroup will kick off the highly anticipated tour on June 3 in London for a two-night run, followed by major cities like Nurnberg in Germany, Warszawa in Poland, Ferrara, Italy and more before concluding on July 4 in Luxembourg.
A Perfect Circle had its last European tour in 2018 in celebration of Eat the Elephant.
