Ultimate Guitar


January 2005, Ultimate Guitar

Curtains, thankfully the last record in the six record series that John Frusciante recorded in 2004, is in stores now, reports press release. It was recorded on an Ampex 8-track tape machine from 1970 and was recorded at his house. He sat on his living room floor and played and sang his songs and then did overdubs.

The overdubs were assisted by Carla Azar of Autolux on drums, Ken Wylde on upright bass and Omar Rodriguez of The Mars Volta, who played lead guitar on two songs.

It is a very warm album. It is also very sad, with additional doses of happiness, strength and humor for good measure.
