Mars Volta record “mellow” album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 16 April 2009
Mars Volta frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala has revealed that the band’s fourth album, ‘Octahedron’, which is set for release in June via Warner Music, sees the band exploring their more mellow side.
Bixler-Zavala told Australian radio station Triple J: “It’s more mellow. It’s a little more of what we consider our ‘acoustic’ side. We know how people can be so linear in their way of thinking, so when they hear it, they’re going to say, ‘This is not an acoustic album! There’s electricity throughout it!’ But it’s our version. That’s what our band does – celebrate mutations. It’s our version of what we consider an acoustic album”.
