Multi-platinum alternative metallers A Perfect Circle have issued a brand new single titled “Starless“. That track emerges from the outfit just ahead of the kickoff of their European/UK summer tour. That run marks their first time heading out across that territory in roughly 8 years. Vocalist Maynard James Keenan (also of Tool & Puscifer) said of this newly shared cut:
“Absolutely chuffed to debut this new track on stage in the U.K.. Of course I’m excited to release the recordings but our songs always take on an expanded personality once we start playing them live.”
Recording sessions for this new track from the celebrated supergroup of sorts took place at guitarist/vocalist Billy Howerdel‘s Lankershim Ranch Studio in Studio City, CA. Howerdel produced it, with Matty Green (U2, TV On The Radio) handling the mixing duties. Josh Freese (now once again of Nine Inch Nails) handled the studio drumming on this track.
Sharing his thoughts on the song, Howerdel added, “Some songs get kicked around and massaged for years. But once in a while, one takes shape quickly, as if it had been there all along.”
A 7″ pressing of “this new track “Starless” has been shared via Revolver. A Perfect Circle have an extensive touring schedule mapped out for 2026, with many stops set to find Keenan pulling double duty with his alternative rock outfit Puscifer.
