Release Notes:



Octahedron is the stunning new album from The Mars Volta. An album

heady with the emotion and high-drama that has always been the band's

trademark, their newfound simplicity and focus has delivered some of

the most immediate and powerful songs in their discography. The album

opens with the tender ache of "Since We've Been Wrong", Cedric's

keening vocal establishing a mood that's deeply blue, powerfully

melancholic, a suckerpunch that hits every bit as hard as Octahedron's

unashamed rockers (the gleaming futuristic funk of "Teflon", the tense

chase-music of "Cotopaxi"). Pulling back from the full-tilt

experimentation of previous releases, the album invests its energies in

Omar's gift for songcraft, for swooning guitar runs of high tension and

emotive power ("Luciforms"' epic riffage), and for the nagging hooks

and melodies that wreath the churning rhythms of "Desperate Graves".
