Circuit des Yeux unveils new cut "The Manatee"

03 February 2022, 17:06 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Circuit des Yeux has followed up last year's -io album with new single "The Manatee".

"The Manatee" is Circuit des Yeux's first new material of 2022, following last year's -io album, and arrives with a Rudy Rubio-directed video.

Circuit des Yeux’s Haley Fohr says of the release, which was recorded during the -io sessions, "At 4:30 A.M. on February 4th, 2020 a manatee popped out of the sea and stared directly at me. It was a charged 10 seconds. The experience stuck with me so much that I wrote a song about it."

"The music video (directed by Rudy Rubio) is a depiction of my own kind of manatee," Fohr adds. "I play a wet sea creature trying to make it work in a dry-land society. It is inspired by the scientific understanding that the manatee crawled into the ocean 50,000,000 years ago. The manatee is my reminder that intuition and two legs might be all a person needs to find a more hospitable world - perhaps an undiscovered place to call home."

Circuit des Yeux's new single "The Manatee" is out now.
