Details of a new album from The Mars Volta, tentatively scheduled for release late Summer 2007 and to be recorded after they’ve finished their current jaunt around the West Coast. In a recent interview with "Time Off" magazine, Bixler-Zavala stated that the next album would be a concept album: "I don’t want to give the plot away right now, but the new one has to do with this gift that Omar found for me when he went traveling once. The gift came with a story that was attached to it, and we’re trying to re-interpret the story again".

Who’d have thought it, The Mars Volta making a concept album… Whatever next!
