Circuit des Yeux: Halo on the Inside

Oh, do Depeche Mode now have a singer? Pop avant-gardist Circuit des Yeux quotes the electro and industrial sound of the eighties on her beguiling new album »Halo on the Inside«. And: healing hymns by Edwyn Collins.

Circuit Des Yeux Is Raving At The End Of The World

“I used to think life is suffering,” Haley Fohr began to say. “But now I think life is change.” It’s a powerful statement coming from Fohr, whose music as Circuit Des Yeux has often leaned into distress: Her transcendent 2017 record Reaching For Indigo was inspired by a spiritual exorcism of sorts; 2021’s -io was a response to the reverberating trauma of experiencing a global pandemic.

It feels inevitable yet elusive, shifting shape with each listen. Circuit des Yeux, aka Haley Fohr, has always been in motion, her music projects echoing her multi-disciplinary approach to art, balancing grandeur and intimacy, structure and instinct. But here, she doesn’t just navigate change—she embodies it. If 2021’s -io was a vast, o…
