John Frusciante literally launches his new LP into space on a rocket

Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante literally launched his new album Enclosureon Saturday, March 29 –the album was loaded onto “the experimental Cube Satellite”, Sat-JF14, and was launched into space.

Forget figurative language, promotions or music videos, Frusciante decided to take a literal route and send his piece of work directly into space at a “remote High Desert location in California,” according to Rolling Stone.

Aside from the interesting album release approach, the space-rocket album comes with some interactive fun. Beginning today, March 31, fans can download an app created by Frusciante’s label Record Collection and Loducca. The app allows users to track the movement of Sat-JF14 and when it hovers over the users geographic location, Enclosure will become available for listening pleasures on all iOs and Android devices, as reported by Spin.

Sat-JF14 will conclude its transmission on April 7th at midnight but until then, have fun tracking and listening to an outer space album—app users can even chat about their experiences with one another on the app's social chat platform.

"This partnership with John Frusciante, Record Collection and Loducca represents a new chapter in our quest to further explore the cosmic relationship between science and art," says Interorbital Systems CEO Randa Milliron. "ENCLOSURE is a musical masterpiece and we're thrilled to be able to utilize our proprietary space technology to facilitate this unprecedented form of space-enhanced distribution," as stated in a Press Release, according to Rolling Stone.

If you’re not digging the space talk, Frusciante’s 11th LP will be available on April 8th through easier methods. Until then, the album will be traveling way above the stratosphere.
