From an interview today with Dave Navarro:

What?s happening with the new Jane?s album?

We?re in process of recording and I just tracked some stuff with the Epiphone about two weeks ago. I wanted some bright percussive acoustic coloring underneath some dirty distorted rock guitars to kind of widen it out a bit and have the notes be a little more articulated. So I used it for that. And, you know, Duff McKagen from Guns N? Roses is in the band now, so we had a real creative burst over the past few months working with a new guy and having an all-new energy on board. I?m really excited about it.

Are you enjoying working with them again?

Oh, yeah, yeah. One of the fortunate things for me is that having been in and out of this so many times, after a point you realize, this is what I do, this is the home that I?m gonna be in. At the end of the day, we may have taken five or six-year hiatuses, but we?ve never really broken up. And the beautiful thing now is we?re all really unified as a band, but we also have our own personal identities and directions and lives and interests so we all have plenty of time to do Jane?s Addiction, for the most part, full-time and also be able to do other projects that interest us individually. We didn?t have that luxury in the old days.
