Beauty In Chaos have today released their new video and single titled ‘Outtasight Outtamind’ featuring Leo Luganskiy (FOiRMODA, Strangelove), from their new album ‘Quiet Place‘, out now. Apparently, Beauty In Chaos haven’t received the memo that everything needs to be louder, heavier, darker, and dripping with enough gothic misery to make a cemetery feel like a summer vacation. On ‘Outtasight Outtamind,’ the Los Angeles musical collective takes a decidedly more melodic approach, trading some of its familiar alternative darkness for an atmospheric, almost dreamlike blend of pop sensibilities and guitar driven rock.
It’s an interesting change of scenery, and thankfully, nobody seems particularly interested in asking permission. Built around an inviting guitar progression, the song gradually develops into something considerably more captivating, balancing accessibility with the kind of emotional undercurrent that keeps it from becoming another disposable radio friendly exercise.
The real attraction here is Leo Luganskiy, whose vocal performance brings an unmistakable personality to the composition. Rather than attempting to overpower the instrumentation, Luganskiy navigates the melody with a relaxed confidence, adding subtle shifts and expressive flourishes that give the song its character.
His delivery has an almost conversational intimacy, making the emotional subject matter feel personal without resorting to the usual theatrical histrionics.
The lyrical concept explores the peculiar misery of unfinished business, lingering heartbreak, and all those conversations that never happened. Apparently, ignoring your feelings doesn’t actually make them disappear. Who knew? It’s a familiar emotional battlefield, but Luganskiy gives it enough individuality to make the experience feel genuine.
Behind the scenes, Michael Ciravolo continues demonstrating why Beauty In Chaos works so well as an evolving musical collective rather than a conventional band. His guitar work provides the atmospheric foundation, while the arrangement gradually expands around Luganskiy’s performance without crowding it out. There’s a pleasing balance between the softer opening passages and the more pronounced guitar presence as the song develops. It’s polished without feeling sterile, melodic without becoming sugary, and emotionally engaging without beating the listener over the head with its intentions.

The accompanying visual presentation brings Ciravolo and Luganskiy together, reinforcing the collaborative spirit that has always been central to the Beauty In Chaos identity. It’s another reminder that Ciravolo understands the value of finding the right musical personality for the right composition.
‘Outtasight Outtamind’ is a welcome addition to the Beauty In Chaos catalog and another example of Michael Ciravolo’s willingness to explore different musical personalities without sacrificing the project’s identity. Leo Luganskiy proves to be an excellent fit, bringing a distinctive vocal presence to a composition that thrives on atmosphere, melody, and emotional subtlety.
With its roots in alternative rock, post punk, and melodic pop, the song occupies an appealing middle ground that should resonate with listeners who appreciate their music served with a little melancholy and considerably more substance than the average playlist filler. Beauty In Chaos continues making the case that collaboration is more interesting than creative conformity. And if the goal was to make something that lingers in your head long after the speakers have stopped, mission accomplished.

About ‘Outtasight Outtamind’
‘Outtasight Outtamind’ featuring Leo Luganskiy, is the second video/single from Beauty In Chaos’s new full-length album ‘Quiet Place’. Michael Ciravolo, BIC’s curator shares, “After having Leo featured on ‘Echoes And The Angels‘ (from the band’s 2024 ‘Dancing With Angels’), I was excited when he agreed to return on this new album. Leo and I sat together playing with guitars to create the genesis of this song, which might just be a BIC first! This song certainly begins as an ‘outlier’ on the album, but then becomes pure BIC when the chorus hits. It’s catchy as hell, but with a dash of chaos.”
Luganskiy reveals the meaning behind his words ““Isn’t it true that love and misery always hit the spot? And it happens to be an endless well of inspiration, things left unspoken are the ones keeping you entangled in a love story that ended years ago, but is it really over if you still think of what could’ve been if we haven’t had a misunderstanding we had? What could’ve happened if u listened to what the other person has to say instead of deciding to severe the connection completely to avoid “hearing” anything at all? I’m directly quoting Lifehouse’s ballad masterpiece phrase, which perfectly describes the patterns of irreversible heartbreak – it’s indeed a ‘Sick Cycle Carousel’”
The video, directed by Industrialism Films’ Vicente Cordero, is described by Ciravolo as “a visual polar-opposite of its predecessor, ‘Home‘, which is always part of my plan. It certainly brings some retro MTV era vibes injected with the all too familiar love story.”
What’s next for Beauty In Chaos? BIC’s curator muses, “We are in the midst of compiling remixes for our ‘re-envision’ release that is our now standard follow-up to our studio albums. As with ‘Signs In The Heavens…’, this next one (planned for a late February 2027 release) will have a couple of bonus tracks. That said, we are certainly not done with ‘Quiet Place’ since we will have one, if not two additional videos from it”.
About Beauty In Chaos
Beauty In Chaos is what happens when Michael Ciravolo decides that putting one band together is far too straightforward. Since its 2018 debut, the Los Angeles based project has operated less like a traditional group and more like a beautifully unstable musical ecosystem, pulling musicians from goth, post punk, industrial, alternative rock, hard rock, and whatever other dark corner happens to catch Ciravolo’s ear. The lineup changes. The voices change. The textures change. The idea does not. Beauty In Chaos is about what happens when interesting musicians are thrown together and nobody bothers telling them they are supposed to stay in their lane.
That idea first detonated with ‘Finding Beauty In Chaos‘, an album that featured a guest list so stacked it could have become completely obnoxious. Wayne Hussey, Simon Gallup, Ashton Nyte, Robin Zander, Al Jourgensen, dUg Pinnick, Johnny Indovina, Evi Vine, Ice T, and others all entered the picture. Yet this was never simply a parade of recognizable names taking turns at the microphone. Ciravolo’s real achievement was creating a framework where those personalities could actually interact. The songs had atmosphere, weight, melody, menace, and enough musical personality to avoid sounding like a particularly elaborate compilation album.
Then Beauty In Chaos did what any properly restless project should do: it refused to repeat itself. ‘Beauty Re-Envisioned‘, ‘The Storm Before The Calm‘, ‘Behind The Veil‘, ‘Behind The Veil‘, and ‘Dancing With Angels‘ continued bending the original concept into new shapes. Then came ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down‘, which went gloriously overboard with 27 reinterpretations. Twenty seven. Because apparently one version of a song is occasionally considered an unnecessary limitation around here. Beauty In Chaos treats recorded music as something that can be pulled apart and rebuilt rather than placed behind glass and admired forever.
Now comes ‘Quiet Place’, the fifth Beauty In Chaos studio album, which dropped on September 28, 2026, precisely eight years after ‘Finding Beauty In Chaos’. The title is almost suspiciously polite. The album itself is anything but predictable. Ciravolo calls it “quite possibly our most diverse album,” and this time the familiar Beauty In Chaos cast gets reinforced with fresh blood. Ashton Nyte returns for the first single, ‘Home’, alongside Cinthya Hussey, Julian Shah-Tayler, Betsy Martin, Leo Luganskiy, and Kommunity FK’s Patrik Mata. New additions Nick Schultz, formerly of The Faces Of Sarah, and Strangelove’s Brent Meyer bring two more voices into an already crowded room. Somehow, there is still space.
The making of ‘Quiet Place’ also says plenty about the Beauty In Chaos mentality. Ciravolo and Michael Rozon kept writing as more vocalists came into consideration, which sounds less like a problem and more like exactly how this project was always destined to operate. Eventually there had to be a cutoff, though, because Ciravolo wanted the fifth album to arrive on the same calendar date as the debut. Ten songs became the line in the sand. In a musical climate where attention spans are treated like endangered species, Ciravolo is deliberately asking listeners to sit down and actually listen to an album. Not shuffle it. Not skim it. Listen. The deluxe CD adds three cover versions with Ciravolo handling the vocals, because apparently stopping at ten original tracks was not quite enough mischief.
That brings Beauty In Chaos to the place it has been heading all along. This is not a nostalgia project dressed up in black. It is not a collection of famous friends checking in for a cameo. It is an ongoing experiment in what happens when musicians with completely different histories are given permission to make something together. Ciravolo provides the common ground, the collaborators provide the friction, and the songs provide the reason to keep coming back. ‘Quiet Place’ simply continues the argument. Eight years in, Beauty In Chaos still understands something a lot of bands forget: music gets far more interesting when you stop trying to make everything behave.
