Omar Rodriguez Lopez will see a new release out this year, two years after its recording. Cryptomnesia is the first release in a series of three albums recorded in 2006 by El Grupo Nuevo De Omar Rodriguez Lopez. The new project is differentiated from the guitarist's other namesake projects and The Mars Volta by his selection of players, specifically Zach Hill (Hella) on drums, Jonathan Hischke (Hella) on synth bass, and Juan Alderete de la Peña (The Mars Volta) on bass guitar. Additionally, Cryptomnesia features the vocals of guest frontman Cedric Bixler Zavala on eight of the album's eleven tracks. The album is due out May 5th via Rodriguez Lopez Productions.
