Red Hot Chili Peppers have shared a new song, “Dark Necessities”, the first offering from their new album “The Getaway”, out June 17. The track, available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music, finds the Chili Peppers using washed out guitars and delicate piano to put a dreamy spin on their anthemic funked-out rock sound.

The record will be released as a double vinyl LP (limited to 5,000 copies worldwide) as well as CD; pre-orders also come with a cassette single of “Dark Necessities”.

“The Getaway” marks the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 11th LP and first since 2011's “I'm With You”. Danger Mouse produced the record, with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich on mixing duties. 

Anthony Kiedis spoke with Rolling Stone in October, prior to the Chili Peppers' annual Silverlake Benefit show, and detailed the band's creative progress. Bassist Flea gave Rolling Stone a progress report in 2014, noting they'd written over 30 songs. 

Red Hot Chili Peppers will headline this year's Lollapalooza, alongside Radiohead and LCD Soundsystem. The fest is scheduled for July 28th-July 31st at Chicago's Grant Park.
