A week out from the June 10th release of his new solo album, What Normal Was, A Perfect Circle guitarist Billy Howerdel has offered up the LP's fifth and final single, the yearning, atmospheric "The Same Again." It follows in the vein of its predecessors, leaning into a gothy New Wave sound not far-flung from the darker forays of Depeche Mode. Listen above via the song's visualizer video.
What Normal Was is due out June 10th via Alchemy Recordings/Rise Records/BMG and is available for pre-order now. It marks Howerdel's debut album under his own name and his first solo record in 14 long years. His last one, 2008's Keep Telling Myself It's Alright, was released under the moniker Ashes Divide.
The day after the LP drops, Howerdel will embark on a massive summer tour, presented by Revolver, that'll trek all over the U.S. and up into Canada with support act VOWWS. See the full list of dates for that below.
