John Frusciante talked about making music again with the band
Guitarist John Frusciante made no secret of his excitement when asked by NME about his perspective on the new album. According to the musician, they took advantage of this recording to present new sounds and distance themselves from the previous work they have done together.
“We feel fresh, like a new band. I put in a lot less of my ego than before and I think that was true for everyone. It was not so much a matter of competition as really wanting to give a part of ourselves (…). Sometimes in the past, like in By the way’ or Mother’s milk, one person would feel suffocated at another’s expense. This time it really felt like people are genuinely excited that everyone else is the best they can be,” Frusciante said.
