The collected solo works of Omar Rodríguez-López (The Mars Volta, At The Drive In, etc.) have been compiled for an upcoming 57-LP set dubbed “Amor de Frances“. That extensive collection draws from his entire 2004-2024 body of work, and in addition to the numerous albums you’d expect, also features two previously unreleased albums.
Only 500 copies of the set will be made available, with a December 04th release date planned via Clouds Hill. Pre-orders will be live this coming Monday, October 30th via cloudshillshop.com.
Some of the artwork for the releases has been overhauled at the request of Omar himself, while the spines of the set align to feature a silhouette of Omar himself.
The highlights for the set include:
- Limited to 500 copies
- Four pieced box set, split into four high-quality boxes with colorfully designed banderoles
- 57 albums, pressed on recycled, black vinyl. Including
- 2 previously unreleased records
- 31 records released on vinyl for the first time
- Recreated true to original, also with selected makeovers of cover artworks
- Set of 9 art prints – sleeve can be replaced with 2020’s “The Clouds Hill Tapes Pt. 1-3” (not included), to complete the silhouette on the spines
