The Mars Volta announce first album in a decade

The Mars Volta have announced the release of their first album since 2012’s Noctourniquet. The new, self-titledcollection will be released on September 16.

The band have also released a video for Vigil, the third single to be taken from the album. An uplifting mix of pop melody and sonic weirdness, with the introduction of frenetic drums in as the song progresses giving it a sense of uneasy claustrophobia, Vigil follows in the footsteps of Graveyard Love last month and Blacklight Shine in June.

A statement that accompanies news of the album’s release says, “The new album shakes loose some of band’s long-standing shibboleths, with only two tracks lasting longer than four minutes, and the dizzying, abrasive prog stylings of earlier albums absent. 

The Mars Volta pulses with subtle brilliance, Caribbean rhythms underpinning sophisticated, turbulent song craft. This is guitarist/composer Omar Rodríguez-López and singer/lyricist Cedric Bixler-Zavala at their most mature, most concise, most focused. Their sound and fury channeled to greatest effect.” 

The Mars Volta is available to pre-order on CD and vinyl, with a “kinetic edition” featuring an embossed, gold foiled outer sleeve available from the Clouds Hill website. The digital editions will be available in spatial audio and Dolby Atmos. A number of bundles are also available, some of which include a “Volta Cube”.
