Guitar Player magazine recently conducted an interview with THE MARS VOLTA guitarist Omar Rodriguez Lopez, who talks about the band’s upcoming album “Noctourniquet”, which drops later this month.
On the material of the album, Omar states:
It was all new Mars Volta material. I don’t really differentiate between the two other than I try to place the most accessible material with the Mars Volta. I hand a finished recording of the music to Cedric, he creates his parts, and the CD is finished when we record them. I expect the band to learn the songs as we create them.
