Red Hot Chili Peppers guitar hero John Frusciante is officially back with a new solo effort. Titled She Smiles Because She Presses the Button, his latest as Trickfinger has arrived, and you can now stream it on Bandcamp.

The album follows the recent Trickfinger EP Look Down, See Us, and it finds Frusciante venturing off into the world of electronics for his third proper album under the moniker.

According to a description from his label Avenue 66, here's what you can expect:

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. On She Smiles Because She Presses the Button, this period of intense study leads intense creative liberation.

However, it adds: "The common thread through this quixotic journey are his trademark, timeless melodies."

You can hear all of She Smiles Because She Presses the Button down below.

Of course, Frusciante recently made his long-awaited return the RHCP, with whom he's have been working on new material. So far, though, it's unclear when we might get a new album from the band.
