It’s been a while…since 2009’s Octahedron to be exact, but the Mars Volta– masters of things prog/funk/experimental- have a new project to share: their sixth studio album that’s due out on Warner Bros.
Noctourniquet. March 27th. Mark your calendars.
The 13-track album written by the usual suspects (Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala) is said to explore “musical territories previously uncharted in the duo’s 20 or so years of creating music together”. Okay. Headphones at the ready.
Tracklist:
- The Whip Hand
- Aegis
- Dyslexicon
- Empty Vessels Make The Loudest Sound
- The Malkin Jewel
- Lapochka
- In Absentia
- Imago
- Malochwalker
- Trinkets Pale of Moon
- Velamalady
- Noctourniquet
- Zed and Two Naughts
Yeah, now they’re just making shit up.
