Octahedron

by The Mars Volta

Octahedron cover art

Described by the band as their 'acoustic' album, 'Octahedron' is a more restrained and melodic affair than their previous chaos. It focuses on haunting ballads and atmospheric tension rather than frenetic shredding. Despite the acoustic billing, it still retains their signature psychedelic weirdness and electric swells.
