Progressive supergroup Jane Getter Premonition has launched a new track “Surprised”, taken from the band’s Madfish debut, On, out October 2.

"'Surprised' is based on the opening picking riff," Getter said. "I came up with it one day when I was practicing and the song took off from there. Being a long-time fan of Living Colour, it was a real treat to have Corey Glover sing on this song (and the album!). His voice is the perfect combination of rock, R&B and gospel, and he brings the intensity and soulfulness to the song that I was hoping for.

"The lyrics came from my frustration and astonishment at how toxic the political arena is right now. I continue to be 'surprised' and amazed at how hypocritical and self-serving some politicians are."

Recorded at Avatar Studios in New York, ON features a stellar line up of progressive and rock musicians: keyboardist Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson), bass player Bryan Beller (Joe Satriani, The Aristocrats), jazz/rock drummer Chad Wackerman (Frank Zappa, Allan Holdsworth, Steven Wilson) and special guests including vocalist Corey Glover (Living Colour), jazz/metal guitarist Alex Skolnick (Testament, Alex Skolnick Trio) and British saxophonist, flautist and clarinetist Theo Travis (Steven Wilson, Robert Fripp).

The album was co-produced by Jane Getter and Adam Holzman. Mixing duties were handled by Adam Holzman and Anthony Ruotolo at Spin Studios in Long Island City, NYC.
