Circuit des Yeux reimagines a trip to her "personal hell on earth" on new single, "Canopy of Eden"

"Somehow, on a day in the not too distant past, I ended up on a speedboat jutting toward a place called Canopy of Eden located off the coast of Puerto Vallarta.The sun was hot, the boat was crammed with passengers, and there was a wild tritoned sawtooth sound coming from its engine. The boat dropped me off in a tourist trap. It was a shadeless beachfront with overpriced bottles of water and pre-programmed music blaring through a broken radio. It was my personal hell on earth," she explains.

:Trapped by the idea of predestination, I re-imagined my scenario in which everyone onboard the speedboat used their voice and internal rhythm to reroute our oceanic course. In this alternate universe, we were able to arrive at our own chosen destination and overcome the god-awful radio."

"Canopy of Eden" follows previous single, "Megaloner". Bringing Halo to fruition involved numerous changes in Fohr’s typical methods of operation. She worked at night. Throughout the writing, Fohr was living alone, slipping down to her basement studio from 9pm to 5am to free her mind, her voice, her hands.

Circuit des Yeux is gearing up to a tour supporting Alan Sparhawk on tour in the UK and EU in Feburary/March, followed by her own headline with a full band, including a show at the ICA in London on 14 May.
