Tremulant EP
From Free net encyclopedia
Released on April 2nd, 2002 by Gold Standard Labs, Tremulant EP is the first EP release by the innovative progressive rock band The Mars Volta. The band has revealed in interviews that "Concertina" is about an ex-member of At the Drive-In, of which Bixler Zavala and Rodriguez-Lopez are also ex-members; the band later re-recorded it, although the re-recording has yet to surface on official releases but can be obtained legally in The Comatorium's Trading forum. Songs are less guitar-based and more explicitly percussion-oriented than later Volta releases, with the first and last three minutes of the EP containing virtually no melodic elements whatsoever.
