Yesterday Flea announced via his Twitter page that he’ll be releasing an EP titled Helen Burns in the next few days. Funds raised from sales of the EP will be go towards Flea’s L.A. music school, “The Silverlake Conservatory of Music.”
The EP was recorded shortly after the Stadium Arcadium Tour and will feature mostly instrumental songs, with Flea playing most of the instruments, including Trumpet, Bass, Synthesizers, Drum machine, Piano, and a “bunch of other shit”. American singer/songwriter, Patti Smith will also perform vocals on at least one track. In one of his tweets Flea described the sound as “not rhcp music or even close to it. it is a trippy freakout”.
The Helen Burns EP will be available in digital and vinyl formats. Fans will be able to specify how much they’d like to pay for the digital version. An autographed vinyl version will also be released for $75.00, which also includes a piece of Flea’s Bass String which was used during one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Concerts.
More info coming soon…
