The Red Hot Chili Peppers are getting closer to finish off their new untitled album, according to frontman Anthony Kiedis.
During a recent interview on a radio show called Jonesy's Jukebox, hosted by The Sex Pistols' Steve Jones, Kiedis discussed the status of their highly-anticipated record.
"We're in the home stretch, I sang yesterday, I get a week off, I go back to finish," the frontman said, reported NME.
Kiedis said the band plans to go back to the studio in February to assess the newly written songs and decide on which tracks to include in the Red Hot Chili Peppers new album.
"We're going to back and listen to the songs, and see if we can beat them," he said.
The frontman also talked about Danger Mouse, who is producing the Red Hot Chili Peppers' new album.
"We had written two dozen songs before we got with him," the 54-year-old singer said, according to Music Times.
"[Danger Mouse] is like, 'Let's keep a few of those, but let's go write all new songs in the studio.' We're looking at each other like, 'Dude, we kind of already wrote the songs, bro.' He's like, 'No, I like to write new ones in the studio.' So, in honor of accommodating this new process, we wrote all new songs, and it's a good thing we did."
Elsewhere, the rock band performed "Aeroplane" for the first time in two decades at the Super Bowl pre-show party in San Francisco on Saturday, Feb.6, reported Alternative Nation.
The last time the band performed the One Hot Minute track was at the Fuji Rock Festival on July 26, 1997. It was the band's final performance with guitarist Dave Navarro.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers is yet to announce a release date for their upcoming new album.
