"Frances The Mute" is the second and already widely acclaimed album from the bio-epic Mars Volta. "Frances" relays a story, inspired by a diary that their late band mate, Jeremy Ward, found in the backseat of a car and the similarity of the anonymous author's life to his own. The album includes guest appearances from old friends, Flea and John Frusciante from The Chili Peppers on trumpet and guitar.
"De-Loused In The Comatorium" is an iridescent, fearless, brain-busting hour of music, a fictionalized celebration of lead singer Cedric Zavala's close friend Julio Venegas' life. Based on a story written by Cedric, it is a concept album in which the hero tries to commit suicide by overdosing on morphine. Instead of dying, he falls into a coma for a week, and experiences fantastic adventures in his dreams, elemental battles between the good and bad aspects of his conscience. At the end, he emerges from the coma, but chooses to die. A genre defying album from two ex-members of At The Drive In, encompassing hardcore, prog, free jazz and psychedelic elements.
