Album Notes & Community Reviews

Part of an incredibly prolific streak of six solo albums released within six months, this recording embraces raw, imperfect studio aesthetics. Deliberately recorded quickly onto 16-track analog tape to capture spontaneous energy, the record features sparse, melancholic guitar-pop heavily focused on Frusciante's fragile vocal delivery and introspective songwriting.
