Chili Peppers Discuss New Album

Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis spoke with Spin magazine about the band's upcoming 10th studio album.

 It as of right now only has a working title, but c'mon: Dr. Johnny Skinz's Disproportionately Rambunctious Polar Express Machine-head.

Like you're not gonna use that?!

Not surprisingly, he says the idea for the title came from a friend who stooped by the studio and began discussing a past acid trip.

He says that the bands long hiatus has re energized them and that due in large part to the work of Flea, the new album is an evolution for the Peppers. He explained, "Before, some of our jams were a bit hit-and-miss. On this record, a decent number of songs were actually thought out and planned in a way we had never done before. That is, with Flea's new knowledge of music theory, we explored the writing process with a bit more precision."

We haven't heard from the band since 2006's Stadium Arcadium. Of course the long time off also saw John Fruscitane leave the group. He's been replaced by Josh Klinghofer.

The new disc - which I hope has it's working title - is due out this year.
