Hear the Mars Volta's Early Version of "Inertiatic ESP"
Unfinished original recordings for 2003's 'De-Loused in the Comatorium' arrive next month
Of their De-Loused rarities, Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez shared, "Some asshole bootlegged the two-track references for this session, but the actual mixes we did back then were luckily preserved and stored in my vault for the past 20 years. So it's super-exciting for my engineer Jon DeBaun and me that it's seeing a release. This was the very first thing we worked on together, and it holds a lot of great memories. And if it's this exciting for us, we imagine it's going to be exciting for the fans."
The Mars Volta's 18-LP box set, La Realidad de los Sueños, also arrives April 23 — and sold out quickly upon its announcement. The band's most recent album remains 2012's Noctourniquet.
