Circuit des Yeux releases her new album Halo On The Inside. Warped and transcendent, darkly romantic and thrillingly alien, the album is Fohr’s boldest work to date. Watch the video to new single ‘Truth’ directed and edited by Cuan Roche, which was released ahead of its release earlier in the week, below!
Bringing Halo to fruition involved numerous changes in Fohr’s typical methods of operation. She worked at night. “I found a very surprising, small voice in me, and it was deep, deep behind my heart,” Fohr says. She discovered it in the solitary quiet of her studio space, with the city outside hushed enough for Fohr to hear the rhythms of her organs in sync with one another—her own inner symphony. She continued working around that concept for eight more months, carving Halo on the Inside out of her reinvigorated relationships with solitude and herself. And then she looked outward.
The centre of Halo remains Fohr’s voice. It is a powerful, seemingly supernatural instrument. Here, Fohr makes use of its full range in maximalist compositions that swerve fearlessly between genres and styles. “Through the process of making this music I was able to rewind myself to a time before fear,” she says. “And in the absence of fear I found the intimate beat of sex, love, and melody”.
There’s shock in metamorphosis, Halo on the Inside tells us, but there’s also levity and beauty. A moment of seclusion and dislocation yielding to rebirth and ominous beauty.
