Last fall, Taylor Hawkins spoke to us about his new supergroup with Dave Navarro. 'We had a joke when we made this record,” he said. 'We called it Yacht Goth.'
, and Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney started jamming together at Hawkins’ L.A. home studio in early 2020, they had little ambition beyond killing time during the pandemic. “After a couple of songs, we realized we had a sound,” says Navarro. “We just kept going, and before we knew it, we had a body of work. And then a light bulb went off and we realized we had an actual band and were going to make a record.
When Hawkins heard she was looking for a drummer, he jumped at the opportunity. “The second I heard ‘You Oughta Know,’ I was like, ‘I’m in that band! We’ll see you at the MTV Awards!'” he says. “I just knew.” In the meantime, Hawkins kept busy with the Foos, and whenever they were off cycle, he’d work on a series of under-the-radar solo albums and side projects. “I tried to work with every member of Jane’s Addiction,” he says. “[Jane’s drummer] Steven Perkins played on a Birds of Satan song. Perry [Farrell] and I have recorded songs, and I’ve even done shit with Eric Avery that hasn’t come out. I have just been mining the time of each member of Jane’s Addiction.
The process is very different than what Hawkins is used to working with Dave Grohl in the Foo Fighters. “Foo Fighters is very much Dave’s band,” he says. “A lot of times, when we make a Foo Fighters record, Dave has demos that are pretty close to what he wants to hear. We just go in and fill in the blanks. Sometimes things happen jam-wise, but a lot of times, he has a pretty clear idea of what he wants.
Hawkins wrote most of the lyrics and sings most of the songs. “We’re hearing Taylor sing in a range we’re not used to hearing,” says Navarro. “We’re used to his rock voice, which is phenomenal, but when he does his lower crooning, for lack of a better word, more Goth-esque elements come out of it. It really penetrates.”
