John Frusciante's new album is literally out of this world

John Frusciante's new album, ENCLOSURE, is literally out of this world.

The former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist loaded the LP onto the experimental cube satellite Sat-JF14 on Saturday, and launched it into space onboard the Interorbital Systems' NEPTUNE modular rocket.

"This partnership with John Frusciante...represents a new chapter in our quest to further explore the cosmic relationships between science and art," Interorbital Systems CEO Randa Milliron says. "ENCLOSURE is a musical masterpiece and we're thrilled to be able to utilize our proprietary space technology to facilitate this unprecedented form of space-enhanced distribution."

Fans can listen to ENCLOSURE and track Sat-JF14's whereabouts via a free mobile app starting on Monday. The album preview will be available until April 7 at midnight, and ENCLOSURE will be released on disc and in digital form on April 8.
