After their recent return with a massive vinyl box set, ‘La Realidad De Los Sueños’, consisting of 18 LPS (featuring unreleased material from the ‘De-Loused in the Comatorium’ sessions, titled ‘Landscape Tantrums’), THE MARS VOLTA are back with some exciting news about the entire discography reissue, available individually on vinyl. Each of the records is now available to pre-order from Clouds Hill, remastered specifically for black vinyl from the original mixes.
Cedric Bixler-Zavala comments about the band’s reunion: “What it’s NOT going to be is your ‘fav member lineup’ playing their ‘classic records’ in full etc. Maybe we’ll play old shit, who knows how we feel. Just remember our past campaigns never relied on playing requests or going fully backwards …it’s new shit, new people, left turns, tangent inconsistencies, mazapan dreams and churro wishes. I will say this though, when ORL played me a grip of new shit I fucking cried. Like Claire Daines in Romeo & Juliet cried. Yeah it was fucking weird. It’s in its infancy right now. No deadlines, no ball tripping, no drama, just 2 grown ass men using essential oils and bold new perfumes shooting ideas and scooting their ass across the fucking lawn trying to get rid of these worms.”
Here’s the full release schedule for the new reissues:
‘Tremulant’ — June 11
