Circuit des Yeux, the moniker of singer and multi-instrumentalist Haley Fohr, with a new release "Halo on the Inside" (Matador), brings her blend of classical, goth and industrial music to The Cedar stage. 

“an artistic triumph” - The Washington Post

"Haley Fohr leapt into the great chasm of grief and found something in and outside herself. Circuit des Yeux has never backed away from harsh sounds or traumatic themes, but on recent albums, Fohr's sonic experiments have bloomed beautifully toward empathy".- Pitchfork.

Haley Fohr is a vocalist, composer and singer-songwriter based in Chicago, Illinois. Her musical endeavors focus around our human condition, and her 15 year career as Circuit des Yeux has grown into one of America’s most successful efforts to connect the personal to the universal. She is most distinctly identified by her 4-octave voice and unique style of 12-string guitar.

Her recent works include an Original Soundtrack for Charles Bryant’s silent film Salomé (1923), commissioned by Opera North, her critically acclaimed 2021 album -io, and two LPs under the mysterious moniker of Jackie Lynn.

Circuit des Yeux will be dropping a new album for Matador next March 28, 2025. Andrew Broder (Joe Rainey, Fog, Lambchop, Jenny Lewis, etc) has produced the album which uniquely blends classical, goth and industrial music.

LEYA - the duo of harpist Marilu Donovan and vocalist/violinist Adam Markiewicz - has long inhabited a beguiling world, blending Medieval-sounding origins with modern folk, classical, pop, and more. From deep roots in the NYC underground to international recognition as a crossover force, their work has found its way into spaces ranging from the club to fashion runways to Pornhub, and beyond.
The basis of LEYA is the unique tuning system of the harp, designed by Donovan for the project, which pairs with the distinctly wide, operatic singing range of Markiewicz, who further blends these vocals with processed violin tones. This sonic template is found on their 2018 debut The Fool and further developed on their 2020 breakthrough follow-up Flood Dream, which The New York Times called “the auditory equivalent of awakening in the fog of a bad dream only to discover you’re still trapped in the nightmare.” This sense of unease has become a distinctive tone for the project, a sort of collision of beauty and calamity that both soothes and disturbs its listeners.

"wildly sinister” -Bandcamp

“unearthly dissonance: the auditory equivalent of awakening in the fog of a bad dream only to discover you’re still trapped in the nightmare” -The New York Times

“a titanic feat.., music that sounds simultaneously 300 years old and somewhere from the distant future.” -The Guardian.
