Her debut LP, Symphone, was released in a limited edition by De Stijl in 2008, followed in 2009 by the more widely available Sirenum on the same label, as well as a 7\" single on Dull Knife Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2010, Fohr released Ode to Fidelity, a three-song EP that signaled her shift to more song-based material. Her haunting vocals and unsettling lyrics took center stage. The third album Portrait arrived in 2011 with clearer recording quality and a live deconstruction of Bruce Springsteen's \"I'm on Fire.\" After graduating college in 2012, Fohr moved from Bloomington to Chicago where she collaborated with various artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn early 2013, Circuit des Yeux released CDY3 showcasing a trio lineup with bassist Greg Simpson and drummer Clarke Joyner. The fourth album Overdue was recorded with Cooper Crain of Cave and Bitchin Bajas. It featured confessional folk songs alongside experimental noise pieces and received critical acclaim. In May of 2015, Thrill Jockey released Circuit des Yeux's lushly orchestrated fifth album In Plain Speech.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"in-plain-speech","title":"In Plain Speech","description":"\u003cp\u003eHaley Fohr's music strikes a unique balance between the personal and universal. As Circuit des Yeux she creates music that embodies the complexity of human emotions, juxtaposing tenderness and grief, ecstasy and horror, using sounds as representations of the emotional spectrum that we all experience. Fohr's striking voice, an impassioned baritone, is the music's centrepiece and guiding force. On 'In Plain Speech' Fohr is joined by some of the most progressive musicians in the Chicago music community; Cooper Crain (Cave, Bitchin Bajas), Whitney Johnson (Verma), Rob Frye (Bitchin Bajas), Adam Luksetich (Little Scream), and Kathleen Baird (Spires That In The Sunset Rise). Fohr cements her reputation as a fearless songwriter and inventive arranger with this stirring collection of songs that are both gorgeous and emotionally potent.
