John Frusciante unofficial – Invisible Movement

In his question and answer session for Guitar World, Johnny Marr was asked how it was like to work with John on The Empyrean five years ago. He did not share anything that we have not heard before, but he had only the nicest possible words for the maestro, saying that he is not blasé at all and that he is a very deep guy; implying that we probably know that already. Oh well, don’t we?

In his second blog entry since the one about leaving band in December 2009, John more or less decyphers what probably are the most cryptic album title in 2012, worldwide. Want to know what PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone means and what is the general idea behind Letur-Lefr? Head over to his blog to read it, then come back here to discuss it with everyone.

John’s music is not a product, according to numerous friends of his who had elaborated on what he’d been up to in conversations with various media last year and earlier this year. However, it seems like people faaar beyond the regular community of fans are on the age of their seats too; as it topped the Hottest new singles chart on British version of Amazon!

Listen to snippets of all five songs from Letur-Lefr and get a glimpse of what we’re in for – there’s some rap, supported by the maestro’s own trademark heavenly backing vocals, the last track sounds just ethereal and…well, check it out for yourself and tell the community what you think of it.

While we’re eagerly waiting for more music, pictures, hints about the album and song titles and all the other usual fun stuff; the visual side of Letur-Lefr just got better! There’s something you will be able to hang it in your own little creative space… a fold-out poster.

The awesome book “Feeding Back – Conversations with Alternative Guitarists from proto-punk to post-rock” is being released today and our competition winner is announced – congratulations to Peter, entry #42. And yesterday, Music Radar posted a bigger with John on their website – by reading it, one can have a really good perspective of what his motives are right now.

Two days after the announcement of John’s 11th full-length album, PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone, track listing has been revealed for the Japanese folks, through their distributers. The track previously announced as a free prequel to the album, Walls and Doors is listed as the bonus track, so is an an acapella version of one of the album’s own songs.

In an interview done early this month, prior to the announcement of John’s new releases, his friend and the Minor Threat/Fugazi/The Evens frontman Ian MacKaye shared a couple of thoughts on the maestro’s philosophy and called him a genius. He also said that he believes John is “pursuing something that has not yet been made” and “therefore cannot be described”. Mysterious?
