Never ones tomiss an opportunity to innovate, the veteran funk-rockers
RedHot Chili Peppers
have decided that rather than just put out
another album, this time around they’ll drip-feed fans their newmate-
rial. The band is releasing nine double-sided singles within a six-month
period—on 7-inch vinyl as well as digital—with the
second drip due this month. In case the proj-
ect’s countercultural credentials were ever in
doubt, each of the singles features an original
cover bymicrobiologist-turned-psychedelic-
surfer-dude-turned-abstract-folk-artist Kelsey
Brookes. And there’s more: The nine covers, when
combined, will make up a larger work of very swirly,
very colorful art (shown here).
Whew!
