Flea celebrates today's release of his new album, Honora, as the guest on the latest episode of NPR's World Cafe. He talks with host Kallao about it and you can hear their conversation and four songs from the album—"Morning Cry," "A Plea," "Thinkin Bout You," and "Wichita Lineman"—here:
After a nearly five-decade (and counting) career as one of his generation’s defining rock bassists, Flea has returned to his first musical loves, jazz and trumpet for his new album Honora. The New York Times says the album’s ten songs “embody a deep pathos.” This first full-length solo record features six original tracks composed and arranged by Flea – including “A Plea” and “Traffic Lights” (feat. Thom Yorke) – as well as interpretations of Frank Ocean and Shea Taylor’s “Thinkin Bout You,” George Clinton and Eddie Hazel’s “Maggot Brain,” Jimmy Webb’s “Wichita Lineman,” and Ann Ronell’s “Willow Weep for Me."
Flea begins his tour with the Honora band in May.
