The Mars Volta are known for their insane prog rock. They can make some of the craziest music that you would call weirdly accesible. They have been at it for a while, a lot longer than you may realize. With the release of their new album Octahedron (due on June 23rd), they will have released 5 studio albums in almost 6 years! That is quite impressive.
I got the albums opener “Since We’ve Been Wrong” for you. Before you give it a download, I want you to create an expectation of what you expect from it. Insane guitar solos? Long screams from Cedric Bixler-Zavala? Not quite. In this song we actually see a more stripped down simple side to the mars volta, and I am really loving it. It almost crosses being called a ballad? I never thought I would hear that word when talking about these fellas!
