Today marks the release of the self-titled debut album from Antemasque, the new project of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala. It’s the first music we’ve heard of the pair together since The Mars Volta went on hiatus, not too long after the release of their 2012 album Noctourniquet.
Antemasque looks like it could be a thing for a minute. The band will be hitting the road for their first tour ever in August, bringing along Le Butcherettes.
