Deconstruction was a one-off project of two former members of
Jane's Addiction, bassist
Eric Avery and guitarist
Dave Navarro. The group was originally to have also included former Jane's drummer
Stephen Perkins, but
Perkins opted to join up with
Perry Farrell in
Porno for Pyros, as newcomer
Michael Murphy took his spot in the trio.
Deconstruction issued a lone, self-titled album in 1994 for Warner Bros., but failed to support the release with a tour -- leading to the recording sinking from sight shortly after its release.
Navarro would later go on to join the Red Hot Chili Peppers, record a solo album, and participate in several
Jane's Addiction reunion tours, while
Avery declined to take part in the
Jane's reunions, opting to concentrate a new band,
Polar Bear. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
