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".
