  • The Mars Volta (US)
    2007-11-21 13:53 CET The Mars Volta (US) 19 februari - Oslo, Sentrum 20 februari - Stockholm, Cirkus Om ditt inre ”bra- musik-alarm” inte går av när du ser namnen Omar Rodriguez-Lopez och Cedric Bixler-Zavala är du i gravt behov av en hälsokontroll. Det är nämligen de två genialiska männen som utgör The Mars Volta, världens kanske mest kreativt fulländade band. Rodriguez-Lopez skriver musiken och spelar gitarr och Bixler-Zavala skriver text och sjunger i det här exceptionella och egensinniga partnerskapet. 2002 släppte bandet sin första EP och sedan dess har man hunnit med allt det där vanliga som framgångsrika band gör, man turnerar, spelar in och genomlever det nödvändiga onda i mediekontakter men tillskillnad från andra projekt så urholkas inte The Mars Volta. För det som utgör särskiljningens logik i fallet Volta, är konceptualiseringen. Ja, du läste rätt. Dom gör konceptplattor, precis som alla dom där lite halv- pretentiösa banden på 70-talet älskade att göra. Första fullängdaren var en hyllning till Bixler-Zavala och Rodriguez-Lopez ungdomsårs mentor i El Paso, Texas. Deras hjälte Julio Venegas var en lokal konstnär som begick självmord 1996. På skivan, som heter ”De-Loused In The Comatorium” berättas om den fiktiva Cerpin Taxt som hamnar i koma efter ett misslyckat självmordsförsök och upplever mirakulösa händelser i sina drömmar. På platta nummer två fortsatte männen att arbeta efter sitt framgångsrecept. ”Frances the Mute” från 2005, berättar historien om Frances och protagonisten Cygnus i ett sci-fi- osande narrativ. Historien är inspirerad av texter ur en dagbok men var bara stoftet som sådde fröt till Bixler-Zavalas vilda fantasifoster.

  • Noctourniquet Album Downloaded the Mars Volta: Every Album Ranked from Worst to Best
    noctourniquet album downloaded The Mars Volta: Every album ranked from worst to best. Although The Mars Volta disbanded some 14 years ago, their entire discography has been released in a lavish 18 -LP vinyl boxset titled La Realidad de los Sueños, which chronicles the band’s six extraordinary albums in excruciating detail. And this is just the excuse we need to reappraise every album by the El Paso experimentalists. The prog rock band, led by vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala and guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López, disbanded in 2013 , when Cedric and Omar reformed their previous band At The Drive-In. Rumours persist, however, that The Mars Volta will reform or already have, with Cedric alluding to it on Twitter in 2019 . When pushed to elaborate, the vocalist suggested: ​ “ What it’s NOT going to be is your ​ ‘ fav member line-up’ playing their ​ ‘ classic records’ in full etc. Maybe we’ll play old shit, who knows how we feel.” That was two years and a global pandemic ago, though, so who knows whether their reconnection will still go beyond the caretaking of their reissues to new material and live dates. While we wait in hope, let’s return to the task of ranking the band’s albums and a piece of small print. While we’ve explored their qualities, we haven’t delved into the respective concepts, because a) they deserve expansive word counts all to themselves, b) they’re often impenetrable, and c) they don’t have a lasting role in how good the music is – who, for instance, declares: ​ ‘ I hate the album but love the concept?’ So with that clarified, let’s dive in… 6.

  • The Mars Volta and the Symbolic Boundaries of Progressive Rock
    GENRE AND/AS DISTINCTION: THE MARS VOLTA AND THE SYMBOLIC BOUNDARIES OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK R. Justin Frankeny A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Musicology in the School of Music. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Aaron Harcus Michael A. Figueroa David F. Garcia © 2020 R. Justin Frankeny ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT R. Justin Frankeny: Genre and/as Distinction: The Mars Volta and the Symbolic Boundaries of Progressive Rock (Under the direction of Dr. Aaron Harcus) In the early 2000’s, The Mars Volta’s popularity among prog(ressive) rock fandom was, in many ways, a conundrum. Unlike 1970s prog rock that drew heavily on Western classical music, TMV members Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala routinely insisted on the integral importance of salsa music to their style and asserted an ambivalent relationship to classic prog rock. This thesis builds on existing scholarship on cultural omnivorousness to assert that an increase in omnivorous musical tastes since prog rock’s inception in the 1970s not only explains The Mars Volta’s affiliation with the genre in the early 2000s, but also explains their mixed reception within a divided prog rock fanbase. Contrary to existing scholarship that suggests that the omnivore had largely supplanted the highbrow snob, this study suggests that the snob persisted in the prog rock fanbase during progressive rock’s resurgence (ca. 1997-2012), as distinguished by their assertion of the superiority of prog rock through discourses of musical complexity adapted from classical music.
