Alain Johannes<\/strong>, co-creator of the highly influential \u201890s alternative rock band Eleven as well as a key contributor on releases from Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures and Chris Cornell, releases\u00a0Hum<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, his third solo album, on July 31 via\u00a0Ipecac Recordings<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s more about me than probably any album I\u2019ve ever done,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0says Johannes about the collection that follows a period of tragic loss, extreme illness and rebirth.\u00a0\u201cIt was something I was striving for and needed to communicate. Coming out of a difficult period, I was liberated. I had lost people who were very close to me. I went through struggles with my own health. There\u2019s a personal energy behind the way it was recorded and the feel of the songs. It\u2019s a document of my life right now.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Johannes is seen playing the album\u2019s title track in a video released this morning (https:\/\/youtu.be\/n_9ua-IjRzk<\/a>). The clip, which showcases Johannes performing the song in the woods near his Los Angeles home, was shot by Frank McDonough and edited by Felo Foncea.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cYou can think of the album title, Hum, a few ways,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>adds Johannes.\u00a0\u201cOf course, there\u2019s a musical hum. There\u2019s an electrical hum. To me, it suggests a sense of mystery. When you stop and listen to silence in nature, the hum is underneath the threshold of hearing. It\u2019s a mysterious and magical sense of something existing, beautiful, and alive. It\u2019s a blanket word for the sound of the ether\u2014something that\u2019s always been there, always will be there, and everything comes from it. It\u2019s the common connection to everything.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Album pre-orders, which include an instant download of \u201cHum\u201d are available now:\u00a0https:\/\/lnkfi.re\/AJHum<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alain Johannes first came to international prominence with Eleven, a trio that featured Jack Irons (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and with Johannes\u2019 beloved late wife, Natasha Shneider. Eleven released five albums between 1991 and 2003. Johannes and Shneider became sought out contributors, working with Chris Cornell on his celebrated 1999 solo debut, Euphoria Morning\u2014which the couple co-wrote, co-produced, and toured in support of. They also lent their talents to Queens of the Stone Age\u2019s chart-topping 2005 Lullabies To Paralyze and the subsequent two-year touring cycle that followed its release.\u00a0 Along the way, Alain either wrote, produced, or engineered projects for No Doubt, Mark Lanegan, Jimmy Eat World, Brody Dalle, and Arctic Monkeys, to name a few. Not to mention, he performed in PJ Harvey\u2019s live band as well as Them Crooked Vultures where he shared stages worldwide with Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and John Paul Jones. A sought-after composer for film, television, and video games, he has penned music for HBO\u2019s Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis (Our Friends) as well as Tom Clancy\u2019s Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Breakpoint. Plus, Grohl enlisted him as part of the Sound City Players, co-writing and performing various cuts on the soundtrack for Sound City. Following Natasha\u2019s passing, he unveiled his first solo effort, Spark, in 2010 before delivering the follow-up Fragments and Wholes, Vol. 1 three years later.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
