Blog > Title: El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez-Lopez: Cryptomnesia

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’s highly-anticipated Cryptomnesia album came out on Tuesday as the debut release on Lopez’s own record label.  While his trademark guitar style permeates all previous bands that bear his name, this is the closest any of his side projects has come to sounding like The Mars Volta.  In fact, Cryptomnesia wouldn’t feel at all out of place in TMV’s catalog–and that’s a good thing!  The increased similarity can be partially attributed to pervasive vocal contributions by TMV singer, Cedric Bixler-Zavala.

I don’t know about you, but I’d be content if this was the only TMV-related release this year.  However, I think this is just a taste of what we’re going to get on June 23.
