"Ringing in the news is his new single " Traffic Lights," which was co-written with Thom Yorke and Josh Johnson, and gets an animated video by Nespy5euro. Check it out below. "Something about it reminded me of Atoms for Peace, so I sent it to Thom," Flea said in a statement, adding that the Radiohead frontman is "just the warmest, free flowing, jamming motherfucker.""
"Named after a beloved family member, Honora was composed and arranged entirely by Flea, with him handling bass and trumpet throughout its 10 songs - including the previously released " A Plea." Helping him bring his vision to life are a smattering of jazz stars and rock musicians: aforementioned producer and saxophonist Johnson, guitarist Jeff Parker, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Deantoni Parks, vocals from Yorke and Nick Cave, and additional parts by Atoms for Peace's Mauro Refosco and Bright Eyes' Nate Walcott."
"This spring, Flea will take his solo album out on the road with a backing band. The tour starts on May 7 in Chicago and brings Flea and his Honora band across select cities in the United States, Canada, Germany, England, France, and the Netherlands. The brief run ends on May 28 in Paris. Find the complete list of tour dates below."
