Throughout the past year, A Perfect Circle have been slowly introducing fans to new music. Along with the ‘Disillusioned’ and ‘The Doomed’ singles they’ve shared online, we’ve also seen them perform ‘Feathers’ and ‘Hourglass’ live, and now we have a better idea of when we can expect the new album. In a new interview on 2 Hours with Matt Pinfield, guitarist Billy Howerdel gave this update on the current status of the record, “We are certainly past the half way point and I’d say Maynard’s probably further along than I am musically. At least with the finished tracks. The songs are there, but there’s tidying up to do there on some stuff there. But everything exponentially happened quicker and quicker towards the end. I think we’re just getting my studio back on from being on the road. We are gonna be finished imminently. I’d say in the next several weeks we will be done with this record.”

When can we expect the new record? Billy answered, “Well, the second quarter is when we’ve always been on track to put out this album.”

For those of you who don’t know, the second quarter means sometime between April and June. Get stoked!
