May 27, 2026 \u2013 A Perfect Circle return with \u201cStarless\u201d a new single from Billy Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan that signals a new dawn for the band, arriving days before they launch their first European\/U.K. tour in eight years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbsolutely chuffed to debut this new track on stage in the U.K.,\u201d Keenan shares. \u201cOf course I\u2019m excited to release the recordings but our songs always take on an expanded personality once we start playing them live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unmistakably A Perfect Circle, \u201cStarless\u201d moves between muscular, guitar-driven intensity and delicate, intricate passages, with the precision that has long defined the band\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recorded at Howerdel\u2019s Lankershim Ranch Studio in Studio City, Calif., \u201cStarless\u201d was written earlier this year, produced by Howerdel and mixed by Matty Green (U2, Florence + the Machine, TV on the Radio) and features longtime collaborator Josh Freese on drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome songs get kicked around and massaged for years,\u201d Howerdel says. \u201cBut once in a while, one takes shape quickly, as if it had been there all along.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A limited-edition \u201cStarless\u201d 7-inch single is also available now via Revolver<\/a>. Featuring a custom etching of the band\u2019s famous crescent logo on the B-side and a custom 7-inch adapter, the vinyl release arrives on two variants: silver\/black, and white with sea blue and black splatter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
