Enclosure is the tenth solo album by John Frusciante released on April 8, 2014 (7 April in UK) on Record Collection.[1][2]

On February 18, 2014, Frusciante made the first song recorded for the album, "Scratch", a song written during The Empyrean sessions, available through his website as a free download.[3]

On March 19, 2018, Frusciante uploaded a version of "Scratch", "(vocal Fx Mix)", to SoundCloud.

Background

Frusciante said of the album, "Enclosure, upon its completion, was the record which represented the achievement of all the musical goals I had been aiming at for the previous 5 years. It was recorded simultaneously with Black Knights' Medieval Chamber, and as different as the two albums appear to be, they represent one investigative creative thought process. What I learned from one fed directly into the other. Enclosure is presently my last word on the musical statement which began with PBX."[4]

Release in space

On March 29, 2014, a copy of Enclosure was loaded onto an experimental Cube Satellite dubbed by Record Collection as Sat-JF14 and launched to an altitude of 10,000ft aboard an Interorbital Systems NEPTUNE Modular Rocket.

Beginning March 31, fans from around the world could download the free, custom-built Sat-JF14 mobile application which was meant to enable users to track the satellite movement in real time (the satellite, however, was only a simulation, as the rocket only reached an altitude of 10,000ft or 3,048 meters before safely falling to the ground for recovery[5]). When "Sat-JF14" "hovered" over a users’ geographic region, the Enclosure app would get unlocked, allowing users to listen to the album for free on any iOS or Android mobile device.[6]
