EL GRUPO NUEVO DE OMAR RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ
“Cryptomnesia”
(Rodriguez Lopez Productions)
So many jumpy, frenetic, whipsawing guitar lines go zooming through Omar Rodriguez Lopez’s head that his main band, the Mars Volta, can’t hold them all. That’s why he has his own extensive catalog of solo albums and collaborations, largely (but not entirely) instrumental works like “Old Money” (Stone’s Throw), which was released earlier this year. (The next Mars Volta album is due in June.)
