Dweezil Zappa Working On First New Album In A Decade

(Gibson) It's been a long time between albums for Dweezil Zappa - ten years, in fact - but he's hitting the studio with engineer and co-producer Joe Baressi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool) to begin work on a new album.

The album will also feature his Zappa Plays Zappa band members Scheila Gonzales, Kurt Morgan, Ryan Brown, Ben Thomas and Chris Norton. And Dweezil has launched a Pledge Music campaign to help fund the record and let backers be a fly on the wall of the recording process, with an unprecedented look inside the creative process, what instruments are being used and many other studio details of note.

"For the last decade I have been working on developing new guitar skills and blazing a new trail for myself," Dweezil says. "Along the way I have worked hard to fuse unusual musical influences within my playing. I've always been fascinated by the sound of Arabic and Indian music as well as Balkan rhythms and melodies."
