"A new entity has been created called "El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez-Lopez" to release the first in a series of 3 recordings completed in 2006. For the past 2 years these recordings have only been known as the "Omar and Zach Hill collaborations." Now, officially, we have the first recording titled "Cryptomnesia" which will be released on 5/5/09. Vocals written and performed by Bixler-Zavala were recorded in 2008. The lineup for this entity is: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez on guitar, Cedric Bixler-Zavala on Vocals, Zach Hill on drums, Jonathan Hischke on synth bass, and Juan Alderete on bass."

as far as i'm concerned they can do whatever they want. they could say it's going to be a thrash metal album or a tribute to 80s synth pop and i'd still be just as excited about hearing it.

Mildly interested, I felt the last album was a big step up from the 2 previous to that.

No, you!

I love Mars Volta for their chaos and energy.. If they put out an album full of this.. I will be disappointed.. Will buy anyways though
