She Smiles Because She Presses the Button

Like its predecessors, the Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist recorded the music for She Smiles Because She Presses the Button on his own. On his third album as Trickfinger, John Frusciante makes the jump from Acid Test to its left field sub-label, Avenue 66, to unleash the full scope of his vision. On She Smiles Because She Presses the Button, the legendary, LA-based cult figure, presents his most diverse yet cohesive album to date. For years now, Frusciante has immersed himself in machines, learning tracker programs, synths and drum machines inside and out, applying the same, tireless approach he's exhibited throughout his career. Once again, this period of intense study leads to intense creative liberation.

She Smiles Because She Presses the Button will be made available on vinyl, CD and as a digital download.[2] He has said this about the making of the Trickfinger albums:

In my opinion, making music with no intention of releasing it is the best thing a musician can do for his own development in this day and age. The Trickfinger LP was made in that mindset, and it was the beginning of a new musical life for me. When I hear it, it sounds like I am opening up doorways to new worlds, and I never have had that feeling listening to music I made for the purpose of releasing it and selling it.
