John Frusciante - Letur Lefr EP (Listen now!)

The new EP from John Frusciante has just been made available on spotify. Here is how the man himself describes the album:

Note PBX = the LP that will be released in September.

I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach. I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.

The tracks on Letur-Lefr are from 2010. Letur is a compilation, a selected portion of music I made that year while PBX was conceived as an album, the songs having been recorded in succession. The records are very different from each other, so prior to the release of the LP, I will make available a free download of a song called Walls and Doors. This song pointed the way towards PBX, but was recorded 7 months earlier. I always took it for granted that Walls and Doors would be part of the record, but as it turned out the record was better off without it.

IMO this is some of his best work to date. It's very different from anything that he has done before. His vocals are spot on, and the guitar work on Glowe is pretty awesome.
