"Blacklight Shine" is the band's first new single in 10 years.
After more than a decade break, The Mars Volta reawaken from their lengthy hiatus with the release of their new single and short film for “Blacklight Shine”, streaming now: https://open.spotify.com/track/4Z9qsdjabSd7kd92FvQij0.
“Blacklight Shine'' pulses with Caribbean rhythms and showcases guitarist/composer Omar Rodríguez-López and singer/lyricist Cedric Bixler-Zavala. The lyrics of “Blacklight Shine” illuminate the idea of “a wave of rolling blackouts washing memories onto shore, a heartbeat that still remembers everything,” explains Bixler-Zavala.
Today, the band also announces upcoming tour dates kicking off September 23 at The Factory at Deep Ellum in Dallas, TX and closing in Los Angeles, CA at The Palladium. Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 24 at: www.themarsvoltaofficial.com.
