Speaking about the unreleased I’m With You B-Sides, Josh Klinghoffer said…
“Some songs seem to have a lot more of an agenda than others. Some songs play well with others and some songs need more attention and a little extra care. Here are some songs that seemed to want to pair up and take a later train.”
Seven Inch Vinyl Artwork
Each of the nine seven-inch vinyl releases will feature artwork by Kelsey Brookes, and when combined together will form one larger piece of artwork. Brookes’ well-documented background in microbiology, surf culture and folk art combine in explosive prisms of raucous color, bold imagery and timeless motifs. See his art on his official website: KelseyBrookes.com
