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."
