Circuit Des Yeux, AKA Haley Fohr, has unveiled a brand new song, titled ‘The Manatee (A Story Of This World Pt. III)’.
Out now, the track was recorded during the sessions for last year’s -io album. Speaking about the track in a statement, Fohr said: "At 4.30am on February 4th, 2020, a manatee popped out of the sea and stared directly at me. It was a charged 10 seconds. The experience stuck with me so much that I wrote a song about it. The music video (directed by Rudy Rubio) is a depiction of my own kind of manatee. I play a wet sea creature trying to make it work in a dry-land society." You can watch the video above.
The release of ‘The Manatee’ follows on from Circuit Des Yeux’s recent remix for Steve Gunn, which appeared on his Nakama EP. Fohr is also set to play a special show at London’s Barbican, accompanied by a quintet of soloists from the London Contemporary Orchestra, on April 6. Find more information on that show here.
‘The Manatee (A Story Of This World Pt. III)’ is out now on Matador.
