8th solo album by John Frusciante, who all of a sudden didn't release a bunch of solo albums after his 2005 album, Curtains, but instead he focused on his work with Red Hot Chili Peppers and several collaboration jobs together with Omar Rodríguez-López, (from) The Mars Volta, and Ataxia. This album is alt. rock, indie rock with a singer / songwriter touch. Frusciante left RHCP later this year, and this time he was replaced by his friend Josh Klinghoffer.
