A is for Avery.
some will recognize Mr. Eric Avery as the amazing bassist and a founding member of Jane's Addiction.
a few might be familiar with his one-off studio project Deconstruction, which again paired him with Jane's guitarman Dave Navarro.
almost no one will have any idea that he fronted the phenomenal, and indescribable outfit Polar Bear for quite a few years.
well now you know.
today marks the release of his first official solo effort on Dangerbird Records and, allow me to assure you, it's nothing short of awesome.

well, it's a little more complicated than that, but the results are simply wonderful:
