Jason Lytle of Grandaddy has announced his new solo LP Arthur King Presents Jason Lytle: NYLONANDJUNO, alongside revealing the sci-fi instrumental "Dry Gulched On Rodeo Drive".

"Dry Gulched On Rodeo Drive" is Lytle's first single since last year's 11-minute instrumental for his late dog Tippy.

Announcing his new album on Twitter, Lytle wrote, "It was a bit of a departure from others...this one being all instrumental with the focus being simple songs with distinct themes played on a RolandJuno60 synthesizer and a Nylon string guitar and then lovingly edited."

Turns out it was a pretty fulfilling exercise just concentrating on going deep and trying to achieve certain feelings based on the song titles and subject matter I was chasing."
