Pretty hard to pick a fave. Enjoying it as much as the original release itself all over again though. There's some real next level panning and delay in Drunkship of Lanterns...Plus it's on right now...Whole album is elite. Any track is the best track, I stand by that. 🤘🤘

Lucro sucio; Los ojos del vacio
by The Mars Volta
supported by 9 fans who also own “Infiel Hasta La Muerte”
Taking the art pop elements of the self-titled reunion album from a couple of years ago into a jazz and ambient direction was certainly not what I thought would come next for TMV, but then again A). I don't think anyone would've, and B). it's yet again another strong direction change I'm glad they've taken. Intricately detailed, especially for a whole 50 minute through-mixed experience, I've found this works really well as a late night listen, much like "Octahedron" and "Que Dios" before it.

Love Descends

A new record of bright-eyed and bittersweet jangle pop from this Oxford (where else?) band.

Que Dios Te Maldiga Mi Corazon

On what is effectively an MTV Unplugged of the self-titled album, Cedric and Omar beautifully strip-back and overhaul its songs to work in a softer acoustic setting, with most for me being on par if not an improvement on their originals. I think the effect is best seen on some of the S/T's more energetic songs like 'Graveyard Love', which feel completely different. Also, shoutout to 'Palm Full Of Crux' too; it's even more intimate and sorrowful now.
