Omar Rodriguez-Lopez To Release 12 Solo LPs

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

For anyone and everyone clamoring for more Omar... well, as the topic title tells you you're really gonna get it!

And the title didn't allow me enough room to spell out the real kicker until now: each and every one is dropping by the end of the year. 

Made up of material recorded between 2008 and 2013, this monumental release series run by Ipecac Recordings will kick off on the 15th of July with Sworn Virgins, and every two weeks the next album will drop. The series should conclude on the 16th of December with Some Need It Lonely. A box set of the albums will then follow in 2017.

Little else is known beyond a list of collaborators for Sworn Virgins that include Volta guests Teri Gender Bender and Deantoni Peaks. You can see what info we have now at the following:

	I wondered why he hasn't released so much stuff lately. He was like Buckethead for a few years there.
	Magma America Great Make Again

	It's probably a matter of focusing on Bosnian Rainbows and Antemasque, and at some point this year he found time to finish the solo projects. Or not, only a guess.
