A Perfect Circle Releases New Single "Starless" With Exclusive Vinyl

A Perfect Circle are about to begin their first European tour in eight years, and ahead of that they’ve shared their first new music since 2024, “Starless.” It was produced by the band’s Billy Howerdel and features 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.”

“Absolutely chuffed to debut this new track on stage in the U.K.,” Maynard James Keenan adds. “Of course I’m excited to release the recordings but our songs always take on an expanded personality once we start playing them live.”

We have a pair of exclusive vinyl variants of the 7″ single, one on “Silver & Black A-Side/B-Side with B-Side Etching,” and one on “White w/ Sea Blue & Black Splatter with B-Side Etching.” Each comes with a custom-branded A Perfect Circle 45-adapter, and they’re available for pre-order in the BV shop .

A Perfect Circle’s European tour runs through June and July, and they have shows with another of Keenan’s projects, Puscifer , later in the year, including Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Hawaii. See all dates below.
