It’s like finding a beautiful surprise package that becomes sentient and awakens us.” For his part, singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala calls the box set a “time machine.” Lift a hidden lid and a duo of pins tumble out - shift the LPs and a pair of 3D glasses fall to the floor that brings the album art covering the box to shivering life.Īs Mars Volta impresario Omar Rodríguez-López said in a recent interview about the release: “It’s a snapshot, the only proof that I have that that person, now unrecognizable to me, once existed and did these things, had these experiences.

Discovering the Mars Volta has always felt like finding the key to another dimension teeming with monsters and magical arcana twisted fables and dangerous lore.
