THE MARS VOLTA

THE MARS VOLTA
TREMULANT EP (2002)
320 KBPS

Anyone who is a fan of The Mars Volta should definitely take a listen at these tracks. Unfortunately, this is only and EP, and for a band like The Mars Volta that means we only get 3 songs. These are great tunes. Also, if this is what the volta sounded like at the beginning, then, it sounds to me like, their sound is forever going to be The Mars Volta, without being over produced, wash-up radio crap. This sounds more like what you hear on Frances The Mute. Songs spiral through more complex arrangements. The composition is darker as in Frances. Plus these 3 tracks take up some 40 min. (if memory serves me right), a la Fraces The Mute. Great recording, definitely recommend.
