A Perfect Circle are getting ready for their fall North American trek that kicks off next Saturday (21). The group surprised us on their last run this past spring when they introduced us to their new song “Hourglass.” With that being said, we can only hope or expect to hear more fresh tunes, despite the group promising that we won’t see a new album in 2017.

Mastermind Maynard James Keenan has previously pointed out why it’s taking 10,000 days for both a new Tool and A Perfect Circle LP. However, according to his recent Twitter post, it looks like we will see a new APC record sometime in 2018. Let’s face it, it’s been well over a decade since 2004’s Emotive, which was a covers album, and just under fifteen years since their sophomore album Thirteenth Step. Therefore, we are curious what APC 2018 will sound like.

In the meantime, check out Maynard’s message below:

Stepping away from @caduceuscellars Bunker & straight into @aperfectcircle tour rehearsals. Gotta learn these new tracks #apc2018 #ineedanap
