I know we have some JF fans here. I'm excited about a new LP!

Here's a (p)preview written by Tessa Jeffers for Premier Guitar. She rates the album 4 out of 5 picks.
A dark, pounding synth pulses as John Frusciante's falsetto spreads over it and chants, "I'll tell you... I'll tell you", in the opening track of his latest solo excursion. This juxtaposition is just one recope from a composer who knows how to build authentically and has become extremely gifted at layering imagery over catchy melodies. Even if some of the ideas spiral off into dissonant directions, the parts still jell.
Just as Frusciante's last few albums were forays into the prog-pop landscape, Enclosure uses drum machines and expansive effects to set the mood. Though Frusciante interjects guitar solos seemingly at will, some fans may feel the genius guitar playing he's known for is understated here, especially when compared to the influential work of his Chili Pepper past. Yet over the nine tracks, Frusciante's solos - like the one that kidnaps the entire last half of "Stage" - arrive not as mere tangents, but as the main event: Guitar is an oscillating vehicle that carries his music into new planes.
Several tunes give off a refreshing '80s vibe without going too far - think good '80s, like Peter Gabriel but with the sensibilities of Radiohead. Frusciante uses effects like organ sounds to create depth behind his strong voice as it volleys through verses, and he skillfully weaves complex guitar and keyboard harmonies into the accompaniment. All tracks have vocals except "Cinch", a more than six-minute opus framed entirely by distorted guitar arpeggios and fretboard flexing.
Frusciante is pushing the limits of his singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist palette, and the art he's making is a god marriage of groove and noodle, possessing the kind of balance that keeps a song a song without getting too messy or alienating the audience. It might be difficult to hear the songs as a cohesive statement across the entire album, but each individual gem is such an enjoyable capsule of creation and tinkering that it's quite an adventurous and athletic listen.

Awesome. I'll be getting it the day it comes out. I've been listening to Medieval Chamber by Black Knights quite a bit lately. For those that don't know, John produced the album, which basically means writing the musical accompaniment in rap.

Thanks for posting!
This is great! A continuation of PBX style it seems.

They must have updated the page because that wasn't there originally.

A guy on another forum found it.

Yesterday, I was doing my usual search around the internet looking to see if I could find any more information or samples for Enclosure. I was on the iTunes Store and found this app called "Sat-JF14." It looked scammy at first, but I look into it further to see what I could find.
"Sat-JF14 is an Interorbital Cube Satellite launched into space carrying John Frusciante's new album ENCLOSURE.
This app will allow users to track Sat-JF14 and tap into its signal. Users will be able to stream ENCLOSURE for free when the satellite orbits over their region."
Hmm... so this app streams the album at certain times? Neat. I download it, but I start wondering "why does an app that stream music have a file size of 46.2MB?" I deconstructed the app payload on my computer and uploaded my finds to YouTube.

What do you think. I haven't been able to give it a good listen yet. From what I have heard, I liked.
