Last fall, when Circuit des Yeux (aka CdY, aka Haley Fohr) released the stand-alone single "God Dick," she described the song as a passage leading from the past toward things to come. "It served a chrysalis function," she wrote of the track, which morphs between orchestral grandeur and shuddering electronic percussion. Fohr called it, "A love banshee bursting through porcelain skin one hair at a time until, finally, the beast within is fully on display."Out March 14th, 'Halo On The Inside' is the product of that metamorphosis. It is the butterfly and the beast - a rhapsodic, hedonistic, dance floor-adjacent, pagan-friendly, horns-adorning wall of sound and emotion. Halo on the Inside finds CdY renewed, recombinant, and thrillingly alien.A Chicago based musician, composer, and multidisciplinary artist, Fohr's work defies easy categorization. It has encompassed critically acclaimed albums, free-form improvisation, painting, 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).There's shock in metamorphosis, 'Halo On The Inside' tells us, but there's also levity and beauty. A moment of seclusion and dislocation yielding to rebirth and ominous beauty.
