Costey to produce Jane’s Addiction
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 23 June 2010
Jane’s Addiction have hired producer Rich Costey to capture their sounds in a box and then rub them onto CDs. I think that’s how it works, anyway. Whatever, he’s producing the band’s new album, their first since 2003’s ‘Strays’.
The album will feature three quarters of the original line-up, after original bassist Eric Avery decided to bow out earlier this year, to be replaced by former Guns N Roses member Duff McKagan. With famously fractious intra-band relationship, James Addiction have split up twice since the release of ‘Strays’, and until he was tempted back in 2008, Avery had not performed with them since 1991.
Costey has previously worked with the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Franz Ferdinand, Supergrass and Mastodon. Presuming he can get the band to actually record anything without them all falling out and stomping off in a huff (as Trent Reznor mostly failed to do two years ago), the album is pencilled in for release early next year via EMI/Capitol.
