JANE'S ADDICTION's 'The Great Escape Artist' Photo Shoot; Behind-The-Scenes Footage

September 12, 2011

Alternative rock pioneers JANE'S ADDICTION will release their new album, "The Great Escape Artist", on Tuesday, October 18 via Capitol.

Behind-the-scenes footage from the photo shoot for the CD can be seen below.

To go along with the theme of the album, the band went to Houdini's old Southern California estate to capture, "a little bit of that 1920s classic California Houdini vibe, mix it in with the rock 'n' roll Seventies reminiscent of 'Hotel California' and bring it all to 2011, which is who [JANE'S ADDICTION] and where we are today," according to lead singer Perry Farrell.

For "The Great Escape Artist", JANE'S ADDICTION joined forces 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.

JANE'S ADDICTION recently teamed up with Indaba Music to create a remix contest around the song "Irresistible Force".

JANE'S ADDICTION parted ways with bassist Duff McKagan (DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED, VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) last September after only five months of working together.
