Omar Rodriguez-Lopez has revealed the release schedule for his bi-monthly album series.
The At The Drive In and Mars Volta guitarist recently announced plans to put out a series of solo albums via Ipecac Recordings, the first of which, 'Sworn Virgins', arrived last week. The material was recorded from 2008 to 2013, while he lived in Zapopan, Mexico and El Paso. Discussing the project, he said:
“It’s crucial in this day and age to be able to surround yourself with like minded people that you can share an ethos with. I feel grateful and fortunate enough to have found this with such amazing people: Mike, Greg, Shawn, Marc and the Ipecac family. After throwing around many different project ideas, this seemed like the best place to actually begin, on what will surely be a long lasting collaboration. I can’t think of a better home for these records or of another label crazy enough to put out this much material. The series also owes its blood to the hard work and talents of Jon Debaun and Chris Common, who diligently scoured through endless hard drives to find these albums and provide such stellar mixes.”
