(7.5)
There's not much I can say about this album. Omar Rodriguez Lopez is the puppet master behind The Mars Volta for those who don't know. It's a light album. Acoustic guitar from Omar and singing from Ximena Sarinana, the grammy nominated Mexican singer and songwriter, and boy can she sing. Everything is in spanish, but it doesn't matter at all. It's just beautifully peaceful music perfectly sung.
My favorite track is Noche Dia, it's got that sleepy magical sound, with the crickets, chimes, spoken word and sparse guitar. It's quite the hypnotizing track.
It's interesting that most of these solo albums that Omar has been releasing were never intended for release at all. It's also insane that he put out 10 solo albums in 2009 alone. (half of them were solid gold, half were a mess of acid jazz)
