Australian prog metal band Circles have unveiled their new single "Sleepwalking" today.

The song comes with a music video directed by Circles drummer David Hunter, which can be seen below. Vocalist Ben Rechter said this about the new track, which is available on digital services right now:

“Essentially, it’s a song of fear and regret, of feeling like so much time has been wasted while you’ve unconsciously gone through the motions to arrive at your current situation. But you’re struggling to push yourself into the unfamiliar territory that holds the potential to provide you with what you’re searching for. It’s so easy to live and die in a comfort zone, even when all you want is out of it.”

Circles will embark on a five-date trek across their home country with special guests The Omnific, Future Static, and Heartline. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.

Hunter said this about the forthcoming tour:

“The last few years has been pretty damn tough on the music industry. We locked ourselves away and wrote the next chapter in the Circles story. The band is ready to road test some of this new material, along with some old favourites. So for the first time since 2019, we're stoked to be able to see all of you legends again. This is going to be something really special for us.”
