| riporto dall'intervista postata da Sara: CITAZIONE Rodríguez-López went on to say that he's currently more concerned with preparing for the release of The Mars Volta's new album 'Octahedron', which is out on June 22. "I had the spirit of Syd Barret's solo records and people like Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake," he explained about the record, which is largely acoustic. "It was an interesting exercise for me to make all the songs acoustic based," he added. "In fact, now I'm finding that it's a limitation that I have - I don't know how to write in major keys! That's why a lot of my songs end up sounding dark, and sad, and melancholy.
"I tried various experiments to try and write something uplifting on 'Octahedron'. It's difficult for me, but that's where I'm going now. My weaknesses are always what interest me." |
