Circuit des Yeux, the moniker of singer and multi-instrumentalist Haley Fohr, releases new song ‘God Dick’. A connective sonic link between Circuit des Yeux’s last album, -io, and a new one to follow in the new year, ‘God Dick’ morphs from symphonic swells and staccato strings to a spiralling 170 BPM drum machine cliffhanger, narrated by Fohr’s sonorous vocal.
“God Dick serves as a sort of chrysalis function,” says Fohr, “it’s passage leading from the past toward things to come. It’s sweaty, exponential, cacophonous, growing, symphonic, and relentless. I wrote this as an effort to embody a state of change fueled by deep wanting. I sonically (and visually) imagined something huge hiding in a skin much too small for it – a kind of love banshee bursting through porcelain skin one hair at a time until finally, the beast within is fully on display.”
Circuit des Yeux released -io at the end of 2021 to widespread acclaim. The album was remixed by musician Claire Rousay for an EP titled Sunset Poem in 2022. The live tour for -io saw Fohr performing and adapting music from the album alongside local orchestral ensembles in different cities and countries. She has since composed, scored and performed pieces alongside artists including Bergamot Quartet, Erika Dohi, the Brooklyn Youth Chorus choir, and Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe.
