Jane's Addiction Album Streaming Now

THE GREAT ESCAPE ARTIST (Capitol) — the first studio album by JANE’S ADDICTION in eight years—will have its world premiere exclusively on the iTunes Store starting today, Tuesday, October 11th, streamed free in its entirety for one week leading up its October 18th in-store release date. The Great Escape Artist has been mastered specifically for iTunes to optimize sound quality when downloaded. Here’s the album at this link: http://www.itunes.com/JanesAddiction.

Jane's Addiction lead guitarist Dave Navarro says, “We are psyched that people will have a chance to hear our whole album before they buy it and we applaud iTunes for standing up for great audio too.”

The Great Escape Artist — the band’s fourth studio album--features the transfixing “Irresistible Force,” a Top Ten hit on the alternative rock chart. The album was produced by Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol), with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek on the creative team. Sitek, best known for his production work for TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Foals, is writing, programming, and playing bass on the album.

On the touring front, the pioneering alt-rock band--frontman Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins, along with Chris Chaney on bass—recently sold out two shows in both Chicago (September 24th and 25th, Metro) and Los Angeles (October 3rd and 4th, John Anson Ford Theatre) which were rapturously received by the band’s fans. Next, they head into New York City for two sold-out shows Monday, October 17th and Tuesday, October 18th at Irving Plaza as part of their third and final pair of small venue shows with Citi to mark the release of The Great Escape Artist. In 2012, Jane's Addiction will embark on a world tour.
