'To Whom It May Concern' is the second single released by A Perfect Circle this year, following the #1 US Active Rock radio hit 'Starless'.

At just under four minutes long, this one is quite moody, giving off The Cure vibes, with frontman Maynard James Keenan addressing the sad demise of civilisation.

Written earlier this year and recorded at founder Billy Howerdel's Lankershim Ranch Studio in Studio City, California, 'To Whom It May Concern' was produced by Howerdel, mixed by Matty Green (U2, Florence + the Machine, TV on the Radio) and features longtime collaborator Josh Freese on drums.

"It's exciting to finally get some new music out into the world, and seeing 'Starless' reach #1 at rock radio this week has made it even sweeter!" says Howerdel. "The outpouring of support is so very much appreciated. 'To Whom It May Concern' is next up! More to come."

Adds Keenan, "Been way, way too long. New tunes, new dance moves, new hair hats. Figure it out. #figureitout."
