Formed in Los Angeles in the mid-80s, Jane's Addiction set a standard for driving, passionate and sonically crushing alternative rock before the term was even coined.
Ritual de lo Habitual is transgressive and transformative, confounding and confrontational. It is the very epitome of sex and drugs and rock and roll. It starts with a stop and climaxes in the middle with a singer who casts himself in the role of Christ.
The record features a "minimalist and crunch" sound, a more "playful vocal range" than his previous work, and explores themes of self-medication in place of self-care within everyday life.
