Frances the Mute

by The Mars Volta

Frances the Mute cover art

Based on a diary found in a repo car, 'Frances the Mute' is a sprawling, labyrinthine concept album. The Mars Volta expands their sound with Latin rhythms, ambient noise, and massive song structures. It is a demanding, chaotic, and brilliant prog-rock journey.
