The Mars Volta have confirmed the title of their new album, The Bedlam in Goliath. The album is now tentatively scheduled for release in September or October. Also, Omar Rodriguez Lopez will be releasing a collaboration with the infamous Lydia Lunch later this summer on the Dutch label Willie Anderson Recordings (who released his self-titled “yellow” album in 2005).
The EP, simply titled “Omar Rodriguez Lopez & Lydia Lunch”, is similar format-wise to Omar’s collaboration with DAMO SUZUKI – a single, extended track punctuated by Lunch’s sharp-tongued spoken word poetry. It will be available on vinyl and CD.
