Hailed by The New Yorker as "perhaps the most musically adventurous act currently signed to a major label" and by Rolling Stone as 2008's Best Prog-Rock Band, The Mars Volta makes its Warner Bros. debut with Octahedron, the highly acclaimed group's fifth studio album. Following 2008's The Bedlam In Goliath - its third consecutive album to debut Top 10 - which featured "Wax Simulacra," Grammy winner for Best Hard Rock Performance, The Mars Volta's punkperverted neo-psychedelia goes acoustic on Octahedron. Says the band's Cedric Bixler Zavala: "There's electricity throughout it! But...that's what our band does - celebrate mutations."
