Return of the Dream Canteen is the thirteenth studio album by the American rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers, scheduled for release on October 14, 2022, through Warner Records as a double LP and single CD.[3] Produced by Rick Rubin, the album was recorded during the same sessions as the band's previous studio album, Unlimited Love, released earlier in 2022.
The album's first single, "Tippa My Tongue", was released alongside its music video on August 19, 2022.[4]
Background
Return of the Dream Canteen was written and recorded during the same sessions as the band's previous studio album, Unlimited Love (2022). The recording sessions marked the return of guitarist John Frusciante after a ten-year absence, and resulted in fifty full songs being recorded with producer Rick Rubin and recording engineer Ryan Hewitt.
Reflecting on the wealth of material that the band recorded, drummer Chad Smith reflected: "We just wrote a bunch of music and wrote and wrote with no time constraints and ended up recording all these songs. We always record more than what comes out on a record, but often they get left in the vault or unfinished or whatever. But we finished them all. We just felt like we had too many good songs to not put out another record. It’s not like a b-sides record or anything like that. Everything felt good and right."[5]
The band consciously sequenced both Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen to become distinct listening experiences from one another: "We thought, 'These [songs] go together here and these go together there and, look, we’ve got two things, both great.'[5]
