Shadows Collide with People is the fourth solo studio album by Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, released in 2004, conceived during the recording of the Chili Peppers' 2002 album By the Way.
It is widely regarded as his most accessible work, featuring a mix of guitar-driven alternative rock, folk ballads, and electronica. Frusciante has stated that this was his most expensive album to date, costing around $300,000 to produce.
All tracks were written by Frusciante himself and the majority of the vocal work is also performed by him. Another notable feature of this album is Frusciante's newfound ability to sing in a more professional-sounding and stronger voice than ever before.
Fellow Chili Pepper, bassist Flea plays a double bass on "The Slaughter", the closing track of the album. Other notable contributers came from Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, The Mars Volta frontman Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Josh Klinghoffer and Charlie Clouser.
Frusciante also made acoustic and demo versions of these tracks available to fans through his official site, as an alternative to the highly produced sound of the record.
The album reached #191 on the Billboard 200 and #11 on Heatseekers.
