The Mars Volta 2 x LP Noctourniquet (Deluxe Vinyl) / Unplayed Copy
2LP on the Rodriguez Lopez Productions label, RLP025. Note that this copy is not still sealed but still has the cellaphane wrapper on and is in near perfect condition (vinyl unplayed) but there is a tiny tear on each of the inner sleeves on the side of the bags about an inch along, this is truly a minor flaw but it has to be mentioned. Double 12" Opaque Blue & Orange Vinyl. This album features a widespine jacket with 2 full color 3D inner sleeves and 3D Glasses. Also included, Limited Edition 12" x 24" full color (folded) poster insert. This record does not include a digital download card. Known for such landmark releases as the gold-certified De-Loused In The Comatorium, Frances The Mute, and 2008’s The Bedlam In Goliath which featured Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy winner, “Wax Simulacra,” THE MARS VOLTA returns in epic and unexpected fashion with its sixth album: Noctourniquet. Written by Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Cedric Bixler Zavala and produced by Rodriguez Lopez, the 13-track album explores musical territories previously uncharted in the duo’s 20 or so years of creating music together. The spectrum of musical and emotional textures conceived and created by Rodriguez Lopez on Noctourniquet ranges from the opening bombast of “The Whip Hand” to the menacing crawl of “The Malkin Jewel” punctuated throughout by hypnotic melodies and borderline electro-ambient washes, most notably in the epic “In Absentia.” The bold diversity of the new material combined with Rodriguez Lopez’s assured producer’s hand guiding The Mars Volta’s most confident and refined performances to date make Noctourniquet an early contender for this year’s most challenging and rewarding listen. As with previous TMV efforts, Bixler Zavala’s lyrics trace a narrative journey with a defined protagonist, this time inspired by disparate elements including ’80s UK alt-rockers The Godfathers, Superman comic nemesis Solomon Grundy and the Greek myth of Hyacinthus. Noctourniquet was performed by The Mars Volta Group: Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Cedric Bixler Zavala, Juan Alderete de la Pena, Marcel Rodriguez Lopez, and Deantoni Parks.
