Deconstruction is the only record released by the band of the same name, consisting of guitarist Dave Navarro and bassist Eric Avery from Jane's Addiction, plus drummer Michael Murphy.[3] They wrote the album soon after splitting from Jane's Addiction, the other half of which went on to form Porno for Pyros around the same time.[4] The executive producer was Rick Rubin. It charted at number 31 on the US Heatseekers album charts, on August 6, 1994.
Trouser Press wrote that "while Deconstruction can claim a few decent songs and Dave Navarro’s dazzling guitar work, the album is ruined by utterly toneless vocals — both Navarro and bassist Eric Avery are credited, but whomever is doing the singing makes former bandmate Perry Farrell sound like Pavarotti."[5]PopMatters called the album "terribly underrated."[6]Exclaim! wrote: "Deconstruction is an ethereal and evolving affair, containing both Eric and Dave's stringed histrionics and ever-morphing jams, yet again lacks the edge of Jane's Addiction, and meanders when it should rock, almost to the point of being lackadaisical."[1]
