John Frusciante – Maya (LILAC VINYL) LP Online Sale

Limited Edition Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl. John Frusciante releases the first instrumental electronic album under his own name on Aaron Funk s Timesig label. The record is dedicated to his cat Maya who recently passed away, a fellow traveller in his otherwise solitary music making sessions. Maya is inspired by John s favourite music: 91 to 96 UK breakbeat hardcore and jungle. It’s a varied and personal take with sophisticated, authentic production balanced against John’s acute sense of melody, an inspired blending of machines and samples infused with a joyful energy. I don t have that interest in singing or writing lyrics like I used to. The natural thing when I m by myself now, is to just make music like the stuff being released this year. I really love the back and forth with machines and the computer. The fun he’s having on Maya is infectious.
