More about Joe Satriani's 19th album, The Elephants of Mars
Joe Satriani’s new album, The Elephants of Mars, will be released on April 8. The album has received critical acclaim, with the video for the first single, Sahara, getting over one million views since its release.
Blabber Mouth quoted Joe Satriani as saying:
"We did everything. We tried the craziest ideas. And we entertained every notion we had about turning something backwards, upside down, seeing what could happen.”
Fans can pre-order the new album that includes a special limited digipak CD release that features seven double-sided cards of original artwork by Satriani representing each song of the album. Also available for pre-order will be several colored vinyl options to pre-order, including orange, pink and purple versions.
