Released the weekend of Record Store Day 2018 with an indie exclusive white vinyl with alternate cover, A PERFECT CIRCLE's fi rst new album in 14 years, Eat The Elephant, debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Rock, Alternative, Hard Music and Independent albums charts. The Dave Sardy, Billy Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan produced collection is the band's fourth consecutive release to enjoy a top 5 debut on Billboard's Top 200. Eat The Elephant takes a weary, yet optimistic, survey of the world's current state of aff airs, as New York Magazine says, ''A PERFECT CIRCLE gives us hope for its own future, though none for the world itself.'' This Fall, A PERFECT CIRCLE kicks back into gear with a run of US and European dates and new single ''SO LONG, AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH.'' ''We all cope with the absurd in our own manner,'' said Maynard James Keenan in reference to the track. ''The Italian side of me produces and shares wine with friends in order to feel grounded and connected in the midst of all the madness. But once the wine is gone, the drunk and sarcastic Irish side of me goes straight for the unreasonable jugular. #comedyfi rstandalways'' Inspired by the Douglas Adams classic tale of the same name, the song is being released on a limited-edition 7'' for Black Friday with a cover of ACDC's ''DOG EAT DOG'' as the B-Side.
