Perry Farrell wrote:This new song "Twisted Tales"; it's beautiful. Repeats in my head. Like a lover I'm pining over. Keep thinking about it. Not the first one you will hear though. The first one we are going to release is entitled "End To The Lies".
It may go out in a few weeks (Secret plan anyway).

and then the way it's sequenced is an art form in itself. How the album unfolds. There's a lot of different ways that it can go, and we're hoping to make it something that provides a mood.

NP:
I have to ask...obviously you mentioned the Jane's album - how's that going?
DN:
It's going really great. We're working with Dave Sitek, he's from the band TV on the Radio. He and Rich Costey are co-producing right now. We have all the material written, and actually today we're going to start tracking the actual album. It's an exciting day. It's going really, really well. It's totally different for us. It sounds like Jane's Addiction without sounding like any of our past records. I think a lot of that has to do with song structure, and the fact that we have Perry Farrell on vocals. I mean, he sings on something, it's certainly identifiable that it's him. But the music's really modern, and we're recording in a really new way...With this record, we're trying to sculpt a piece of art that's an entire album. I haven't been this excited about the band for many years.
NP:
It is really hard to get people to see an album in terms of the whole when people are just downloading individual tracks.
DN:
Yeah, and that's fine, they can do that, but I think as the artist you still want to create a body of work.
NP:
And create a complete work of art.
DN:
Exactly. I know a lot of bands focus on a couple of singles and then the rest of the record is filler, and a lot of bands really just focus on the album, and I think that we're the latter. We really want to make an epic album.
NP:
So how are you making it feel complete? Is there a thread that's going to go all the way through it?
DN:
Well, you can't help but have that thread with the same people writing and creating. That's going to be there. That's going to be inherent. I think when it comes down to the songs, we have a couple of hours worth of material, so obviously we're going to pick and choose the ones that are best suited. Some may be stronger than others, so we'll pick those, and then the way it's sequenced is an art form in itself. How the album unfolds. There's a lot of different ways that it can go, and we're hoping to make it something that provides a mood.
