Hailed by The New Yorker as 'perhaps<br>the most musically adventurous act<br>currently signed to a major label'<br>and by Rolling Stone as 2008's Best<br>Prog-Rock Band, The Mars Volta<br>makes its Warner Bros. debut with<br>Octahedron, the highly acclaimed<br>group's fifth studio album. Following<br>2008's The Bedlam In Goliath-its<br>third consecutive album to debut Top<br>10-which featured 'Wax Simulacra,'<br>Grammy winner for Best Hard Rock<br>Performance, The Mars Volta's punkperverted neo-psychedelia goes<br>acoustic on Octahedron. Says the<br>band's Cedric Bixler Zavala:<br>'There's electricity throughout it! But<br>€¦ that's what our band does-celebrate mutations.'
