A Perfect Circle Says No New Album, But New Songs on the Way

by | Jul 9, 2011

A Perfect Circle guitarist Billy Howerdel revealed that while the band has been debuting new material live, a full-length album is not currently in the works.

“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,” Howerdel tells Billboard.com. “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.”

Howerdel goes on to say, “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…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.”
