Billboard.com recently caught up with A Perfect Circle‘s Billy Howerdel to discuss the bands plans for new material. Speaking on that, Howerdel offered:
“Right now the intention is not to put out a (full album) but just to release some songs along the way, and then they might be re-imagined and put together in some collection. If you need to have an album then there will be something more like a photo album where you collect these things and you put them in.”
He further went on to state:
“If we were prepared to do a 12-to-18 month campaign and do a new record and new tour, that’s a little different and we’d approach it a little differently. But with Maynard‘s commitments to other projects, I don’t think it’s possible, or it’s certainly not in the future.”
He also elaborated on the bands current status label wise, stating that they have:
“a freedom to release things as we want. We don’t have a record deal anymore. We don’t have a record company backing us and financially funding a record or a tour and getting involved. We’re doing everything ourselves now. It gives you a lot of freedom, but it gives you limitations as well. You just have to find a balance within that.”
Howerdel did however confirm that the band filmed some of their full album performance shows during the fall of last year and will release them at some point. He also revealed that A Perfect Circle have some plans for 2012. More on all of that can be found in the above-mentioned interview.
