(4/24/03, 10 a.m. ET) -- Jane's Addiction has inked a deal with Capitol Records to release its forthcoming album Hypersonic. The first album of all new material by Jane's Addiction since 1990's Ritual De Lo Habitual is slated to hit stores June 24. Details of the deal with Capitol Records were not available.

The first single from the collection hasn't been chosen yet, but band singer/songwriter Perry Farrell is eager for people to hear the material. He's even open to having two new singles. "It might be creative to put out two singles at once," Farrell said. "It's something that is not done too often, but so what? I think it might be, in this case, an interesting ambition shall we say to put out two singles--being that summer's coming and no one has heard the music. And I'm sure people are excited and raring to hear this music."

Farrell is glad that by the time Jane's Addiction starts the Lollapalooza tour on July 3 in Grand Rapids Michigan, fans will have had a chance to absorb the album.
