Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, multi-instrumentalist from At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta, released twenty-two solo albums in 2016 and 2017 alone. In October, his entire solo output from »A Manual Dexterity: Soundtrack Volume One« (2004) to »The Clouds Hill Tapes« (2022) was released by Clouds Hill Records: 57 LPs in the ultra-limited box »Amor de Frances«, 31 of which appeared on vinyl for the first time ever, including two previously completely unreleased albums. If the box is too heavy or too expensive for you, you can also buy all the LPs individually from January 19th, 2024.

Classics only

The LPs show Omar Rodriguez-Lopez as a music obsessive who jumps effortlessly from one genre to the next: jazz fusion, experimental rock, acid jazz, electronica, prog, psychedelia, synthpop, free jazz and avant-garde.Many of his solo albums have become modern classics, such as his collaborations with Can singer Damo Suzuki, post-punk icon Lydia Lunch or Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante.
