Why is URB posting the first song to come online from Jane’s Addiction’s next album? What are we, Spin circa 1990? Well, the new tune features TV on the Radio / Maximum Balloon man Dave Sitek on bass as well as production duties. And the result? Jane’s still isn’t the same without the Eric Avery’s insanely catch bass parts (who here didn’t learn the riff to “Mountain Song” when they were in High School), and Perry Farrell can’t hoot and hollar the way he used to. But Sitek does add some cool studio trickery, espeically in the intro, which kinda makes you imagine what could happen if Mad Professor got ahold of the master tapes from Ritual de lo Habitual. But it’s still fundamentally by the numbers alt-rock, which is to be expected I guess.
