Alright, we finally scooped out some concrete details on Frances the Mute, set to be released march 22:
All the players are the same as have toured for a year now. However, the album will also include a great number of guest performers, including Larry Harlow as previously reported. It was produced by Omar, mixed by Rich Costey, and recorded in Australia, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico and New York.
Storm Thorgerson is doing the artwork again, and the lyrics will be included in the package this time. The songs are both in english and spanish. The Widow will be the single, and it will have a video. A very early version of The Widow was played at the Wiltern shows.

The 77 minutes of music will be seamless all the way through. The tracklist looks like this:

FRANCES THE MUTE:

CYGNUS....VISMUND CYGNUS
A. SARCOPHAGI
B. UMBILICAL SYLLABLES
C. FACILIS DESCENUS AVERNI

Haha, i like how you have to do PEMDAS and Pythagroean's Theory to figure out the fucking song titles on the CD (not literally).

I think they just find random words in the dictionary or they just pull titles out of their ass. One night they were probably drunk and some one just muttered " Umbilical Syllables" and they were just like "that would make an awesome song title!"

[Albino_Virgin]

Gah I'm so excited for this! Not like any of those titles will end up making sense, but that's part of the goodness...trying to figure it all out. March 22nd better get here pretty damn quick!

The best song will no doubt be the third track A. :scratches head:

[PunkPacoKeith]

I can't wait to hear this, they are amazing on cd and even better live.

[AreTwoKay]

Should be awesome

[thewk]

I don't think I've ever laughed quite as loud when reading a post on ap.net as I did just now. PEMDAS is classic.

[intoyourarms]

PEMDAS is definitely a united states mathematical classic.

[rr_thecrowing]

PEMDAS? I'm in standard calculus and I don't think I've ever heard of PEMDAS...unless I skipped that day of class. Oh wait...I just Google'd it. But of course! Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally. How could I forget?

I'm so freakin' thrilled about this new TMV. I can't wait to hear a studio version of the Widow...I've heard a live bootleg of them playing it at The Wiltern...it's not too shabby.

Oh so close, you think the release date as any relevance?

[tbspunkstm]

anyone know where I can find a rip of 'The Widow' live? I've searched irc and soulseek and found nothing.

Do you find that soulseek to be lacking latley?

[T/I/M/E/B/O/M/B]

i think this album is probably going to be fascinatingly good.

... scratch the dictionary part.. take away drunk and add on lots of drugs and ur probably right.. cedric is a god of lyrics tho.. we may never understand much of it.. but this band is ridculously good.. hopefully this cd will change my outlook on music forever like only mars volta could

R Kelly submitted this? I thought all the members of the Mars Volta were over 18.

anybody use torrents? see anything around lately regarding mv?

[rr_thecrowing]

If you go the www.thecomatorium.com/boards, there's a bootleg section where all they do is trade live shows...there's a show at The Wiltern that's up for download, and "The Widow" is a song from that show...I think it's labeled "New Song".
