Halo on the Inside is the forthcoming album by Circuit des Yeux, dropping March 14 via Matador Records. Ahead of the LP’s release Circuit Des Yeux aka Haley Fohr, has shared a Dana Trippe-directed video for “Canopy of Eden.”

Haley Fohr on “Canopy of Eden”:

“Somehow, on a day in the not too distant past, I ended up on a speedboat jutting toward a place called Canopy of Eden located off the coast of Puerto Vallarta.

The sun was hot, the boat was crammed with passengers, and there was a wild tritoned sawtooth sound coming from its engine.

The boat dropped me off in a tourist trap. It was a shadeless beachfront with overpriced bottles of water and pre-programmed music blaring through a broken radio.
It was my personal hell on earth.

Trapped by the idea of predestination, I re-imagined my scenario in which everyone onboard the speedboat used their voice and internal rhythm to reroute our oceanic
course. In this alternate universe, we were able to arrive at our own chosen destination and overcome the god-awful radio.”

In addition to creating her own music, Fohr has created audio visual installations, and large ensemble compositions. She has performed in an anechoic chamber (a room with no echo), written for a 50-piece children’s choir, and plunged from a rooftop (under the supervision of a stunt- coordinator).

A trip to Greece ignited in Fohr an interest in the character of Pan, the mythological, flute playing half-goat, half-man. His story of transformation, melody, fertility, and eventual demise served as a moodboard to the album's rapturous, brightly burning moments.

Fohr traveled to Minneapolis complete the record with producer Andrew Broder (Bon Iver, Moor Mother, Lambchop). The album’s centrepiece, Cathexis, puts the pair’s creative chemistry on full display. Haley’s seemingly limitless voice interplays with Broder’s cathartic guitar coda, offering perhaps the album’s most ascendant moment. “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”.
