Circuit des Yeux unveils cinematic new single "Vanishing"

"Vanishing" is the third outing from Haley Fohr's -io album, landing after earlier singles "Sculpting the Exodus" and "Dogma", and is accompanied by a self-directed video.

Fohr says of the new release, ""Vanishing" is an account of climate change and loss through the final stage of grief. In this video I embody our evolving consciousness toward Earth and its health by representing four characters. Lemonade Lady is the evasive optimist who is unwilling to acknowledge her changing surroundings. Prepared Weather Person is the anxious prepper; ready for the worst and isolated by fear. The Mortal Sufferer gets blown away in a field and serves as evidence that us corporeal beings are at the behest of our environment. And Worm Girl personifies the stoic reality that all things human undoubtedly decompose in time."

-io will follow Circuit des Yeux's 2017 album Reaching For Indigo, and was recorded on tape at Chicago's Electrical Audio studio last autumn by Cooper Crain. The album was mixed by Marta Salogni (Bjork, Holly Herndon), while Fohr arranged and produced the record.

Fohr says of the album, "I was haunted by memories in the pandemic. As someone with PTSD, memories are all twisted up inside of me in a way that doesn't help my higher self. Making this album was once again an exercise of trying to relieve myself of some of that darkness in a way that music has always done for me."
