'Stadium Arcadium' will hit the shops on May 8 as the successor to
2002's 'By The Way'.
Originally conceived as a 38-song trilogy, 'Stadium Arcadium' will be a
24-track double LP with titles including the first single 'Dani
California', which will precede the album.
Other songs set to feature are 'Snow', 'Animal Bar', 'Wet Sand',
'Charlie', 'Desecration Smile' and 'Hard To Concentrate'.
Speaking to NME.COM about the title of the release, singer Anthony
Kiedis said: "'Stadium Arcadium', in the end it has a very dreamlike
feeling of we on Earth reflecting the cosmos on the heavens, and we on
Earth reflecting it because that's where our inspiration comes from.
It's more romance of sound or whatever retarded passions exist in your
soul. It's kind of a romantic affair."
The LP also marks the first time the band have managed three
consecutive records with the same line-up, following the return of
guitarist John Frusciante to the fold for 1999's 'Californication'.
However, Kiedis refuted the suggestion that this means the band had
fully conquered their demons.
"It feels great, and I hope it stays that way, but I wouldn't say our
troubles are all over. In some ways it's good to hold on to a few of
your demons... I don't think our troubles are completely over. We're a
bit bent in the head and I think that serves us well."
Red Hot Chili Peppers entered the studio last March with producer Rick
Rubin (Beastie Boys, [a]System Of A Down) to start work on 'Stadium
Arcadium' and having played three shows at London's Hyde Park eighteen
months ago to a total of 300,000 people, the band plan to return to the
UK for a tour later this year.
