Unreachable

Friends and Fans,

The Empyrean is my new record and will be released worldwide via Record Collection on January 20th 2009. It was recorded on and off between December 2006 and March 2008. It is a concept record that tells a single story both musically and lyrically. The story takes place within one person, and there are two characters. It contains a version of Tim Buckley’s, ‘Song To The Siren’ and the rest of the songs are written by me. My friend Josh plays on it, as does Flea. It also features Sonus Quartet, Johnny Marr and The New Dimension Singers. I'm really happy with it and I've listened to it a lot for the psychedelic experience it provides. It should be played as loud as possible and it is suited to dark living rooms late at night.

If you know me you may know that one of my favorite artists is John Frusciante. While in a deep Chili Peppers phase I was introduced to their guitarist's solo stuff and immediately became engulfed. I never heard such amazing music with spontaneity as I did when I listened to Curtains straight through. It was both accessible and out there, it was and is perfect.

John posted a new song on his MySpace called 'Unreachable.' It's a psychedelic influenced song. While listening you may agree that a 'dark living room' is the perfect setting.
