It’s been eight years since Jane’s Addiction released an LP and more than two decades since their seminal Ritual de lo Habitual came out, but Addiction fans can get excited again as Perry Farrell and company have wrapped up recording on The Great Escape Artist, set for release later this year.

The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings.
