A Perfect Circle's song "Disillusioned" is a plaintive call for people to break the addiction with cell phones, social media and other technology and reconnect with each other IRL. "'Disillusioned' comes from a place of overcoming the slide into the numb," APC guitarist and main songwriter Billy Howerdel commented at the time of the single's January release. "It speaks to reconnection and a fresh start to a new year." The new video for the song, directed by Alex Howard, brings this message to life by imagining a very literal cult of technology right out of Ghost in the Shell and follows a woman as she is seduced into its fold but then escapes.
"Disillusioned" is featured on A Perfect Circle's forthcoming new album Eat the Elephant — one of our most anticipated records of the year — which is due April 20th. It's also included on a new a limited edition 10-inch single of "The Doomed" and "Disillusioned." The collectible vinyl has a dual pressing of both songs on side A and a screen-printed B-side. Yo can order one of the few remaining copies from the band here or pick one up at select retailers beginning today. The band will be hitting the road starting in April — scroll down for dates.
