Mars Volta Ready Release of Sixth Studio Album, "Noctourniquet"

It's been a while...since 2009's Octahedron to be exact, but the Mars Volta- masters of things prog/funk/experimental- have a new project to share: their sixth studio album that's due out on Warner Bros.

Noctourniquet. March 27th. Mark your calendars.

The 13-track album written by the usual suspects (Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala) is said to explore "musical territories previously uncharted in the duo's 20 or so years of creating music together". Okay. Headphones at the ready.
