A Perfect Circle guitarist Billy Howerdel revealed why the band are in ‘panic mode’ regarding their new album in a new Spokesman interview.
“Go on tour, and the songs will finish themselves.”
The band hoped scheduling a spring 2018 tour would put them into “panic mode” and force them to finish new music.
“Mission accomplished,” Howerdel said in a recent phone interview.
A Perfect Circle played a few new songs on that tour and debuted “The Doomed,” its first new release since 2004’s “eMOTIVe,” in October.
“If you give yourself too much time, things never happen,” he said. “I think paralyzed by choices or paralyzed by comfort is a real thing, so we try and just go ‘We’re pretty much ready. Let’s do it.’ Then you’ll rise to the occasion.”
“We’ll bring all those new ideas and fit them into the mold of APC,” he said. “Inevitably, the mold is going to drip over with all the new ideas, and you’re going to have an evolution and the mold disappears and you have this new product, this new thing.”
