Watch A Perfect Circle's Disconcerting New "The Contrarian" Music Video
A Perfect Circle have released the unsettling music video for their new single, "The Contrarian." You can check it out above.
The video is a compilation of modified 2D footage from the Steven Sebring hologram film that appeared in the deluxe box set edition of the band's new album, Eat the Elephant, as a companion piece to the album.
The band also added a number of new dates to their already-announced fall American tour. You can check out the group's full itinerary below.
“When APC will reconvene is never exactly defined,” guitarist Billy Howerdel told Guitar World in a May 2018 interview about the group's erratic schedule. “That frustrating, for sure, but maybe that contributes a little bit to the magic that can happen when we do get together—that feeling of not being predictable, not punching a clock. There’s an artistic value to it. But I’d still prefer to tour, make a record, take a little break, then tour and make another record.”
