"Twisted Tales" comes from The Great Escape Artist, which Capitol put out in October 2011 as Jane's Addiction's first album since Strays in 2003. The writing credit goes to Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, who plays bass here alongside Chris Chaney and adds keyboards and extra guitar as well.

Farrell sings and co-produced with Rich Costey, who recorded and mixed it; Navarro plays guitar and keys, Perkins handles percussion, and John Hill and Jamie Muhoberac pile on more keyboards. Farrell pitched the album as the band's old post-punk goth darkness crossed with what Muse and Radiohead were doing, and Costey came away calling it a real Jane's Addiction record.
