Regarding the band's forthcoming album, "The Great Escape Artist", JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro told the Artisan News Service at the event, "We've definitely stepped into another direction. It still has a lot of what I love about JANE'S ADDICTION, which is hypnotic, tribal, ritualistic energy, but with a touch of a new direction. I'm really excited about it. It's probably one of the more gratifying creative efforts that I've been a part of."

Due in August via Capitol Records, "The Great Escape Artist" was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Rich Costey (MUSE, FRANZ FERDINAND, INTERPOL),with TV ON THE RADIO's Dave Sitek on the team. Sitek, best known for his production work on TV ON THE RADIO, YEAH YEAH YEAHS and THE FOALS, is writing, programming, and playing bass on the album.
