JANE'S ADDICTION: New Album Release Date Announced

July 12, 2011

JANE'S ADDICTION's new album, "The Great Escape Artist", will be released on September 27 (one day earlier internationally) through Capitol Records. The CD 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.

"The Great Escape Artist" marks the band's fourth studio album since 1988 and its first since 2003's "Strays".

Of the title, singer Perry Farrell said: "I love being able to escape my past, even though my past was great. I just love the future even more."

Talking about the album, he said: "It's a strange mixture of that post-punk goth darkness that JANE'S had, with what's going on today with groups like MUSE and RADIOHEAD. As much as I want to appease fans and make old JANE'S fans love me, I just cant help myself from moving forward."

Tracks set to appear on "The Great Escape Artist" include "End To The Lies" , "Irresistible Force", which guitarist Dave Navarro described to Reuters as having "some magic captured on it," and "Splash a Little Water", which he termed "kinda ambient and cinematic."

JANE'S ADDICTION's video for "End To The Lies" can be viewed below. The Alex Bulkley-directed ("Robot Chicken") clip was shot in Hollywood, California at Studio 905 where the band members were filmed giving a live performance in front of a white backdrop so they could later be superimposed onto women's bodies.
