It's been nearly four years since the release of I'm With You, but now it finally seems like new music from The Red Hot Chili Peppers is on its way. In a new Q&A with Rolling Stone and Twitter fans, RCHP drummer Chad Smith spoke about the band's upcoming 11th studio album, and it's doing to be "new," "different" and "unique."
According to Smith, the band's next effort is "shaping up good," and will be a "challenging" new album for both the band and its fans.
"We've done the 'guys get in the room and jam out songs, everybody playing together all at once' thing. And we wrote a bunch of songs that way. And we're now going to try another method that will be really challenging for us and will bring new, exciting results for the band," Smith said. "We've written and recorded in a way that we've never done before, so the record is going great. We all have high hopes that it's going to take off and we're going to do something very different and unique for the Red Hot Chili Peppers."

Despite working with a different, unnamed producer and trying out new writing techniques, longtime Red Hot Chili Peppers fans need not be too worried. Later in the Q&A, Smith assured that "anything we do is going to sound like Red Hot Chili Peppers," but that the band is trying to break a little new ground.
Further details about a new Red Hot Chili Peppers are scarce. The band last released a full-length album, I'm With You, in August 2011.
