Hit: 5 Stars
First I got Deloused, and then, starving for more of this incredible mind-bending sound, I got Tremulant and was pleased. This EP is an incredible example of the Mars Volta's monumental skills. This album is replete with blazing soundscapes and incredible vocals. The songs on Tremulant (just three) have the same sound of Deloused material but with less experimental song structures. Omar's writing and playing astounds. Cedric's otherworldly vocals carry every track. Jon Theodore's drumming is, as usual, the best. The keyboard and bass add just two more incredible layers to the masterpiece. And Jeremy Ward's (RIP) sound collages open and close the album perfectly.
SONGS:
Cut That City- Opens with a rather long and hypnotic sound collage with no melodic elements whatsoever, before unexpectedly exploding into the Mars Volta's first released song. Cut that city is an intense and driving song that alternates between 4/4 and 19/16, with great vocals and awesome band performance.
Concertina- Opens on the same chord that Cut That City ended on. This song is beautiful, with a breathtaking chord progression and haunting bilingual vocals. There is an instrumental break in the middle of the song that is its signature moment. Incredible.
Eunuch Provocateur- A strange title for a crazy song. Begins with a cool dark guitar riff, escalates into a screaming attack on the senses. This song has a few very melodic moments, but overall it is a holy terror of insane beauty. It ends with a three-minute sound collage courtesy of Jeremy Ward with a trancey electronic beat, backwards vocals and cool melodies.
Overall an awesome album, I love this EP as much as any of their other CDs. Intense! Definitely worth your money. This is an integral part of the Mars Volta experience.
