The Mars Volta's Omar drops yet another "solo" release on us with barely enough time to absorb the last. This one features former (*tear) Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist and frequent Volta collaborator John Frusciante, on a 7-song LP that seems to have been recorded on a 4-track about 30 years ago.
Anyway, it's clear these guys were just fucking around and thought to release of their jams as an afterthought. It's a good thing mediocre jamming for these guys is still something worth a listen to the rest of us.
I don't know anything about a vinyl or CD release (I'm guessing there won't be one) but Cathy from Sargent House has released the album via Omar's bandcamp page for streaming or suggested-donation download. Here's a the download link. And yes, that really is the cover art.
Suggested listen:

BOTH albums will be released on vinyl (though on a limited quantity).
ReplyDeleteThis was recorded around 2004/5 I guess, the other album seems to be more recent
