Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante will release a new solo album in September.
The previously announced EP ‘Letur-Lefr‘, set for release on July 17th, will be followed by the full length LP ‘PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone‘ on September 24th, according to a statement on Frusciante’s official website.
“I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach,” Frusciante said in the statement. “I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.”
“The tracks on Letur-Lefr are from 2010 and PBX was made in 2011. Letur is a compilation, a selected portion of music I made that year while PBX was conceived as an album, the songs having been recorded in succession. The records are very different from each other, so prior to the release of the LP, I will make available a free download of a song called ‘Walls and Doors’.”
“This song pointed the way towards PBX, but was recorded 7 months earlier. I always took it for granted that ‘Walls and Doors’ would be part of the record, but as it turned out the record was better off without it.”
