ANTEMASQUE is the latest project from brilliant musical madmen, Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala who brought us At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta. Their eponymous debut will finally be made available for worldwide release November 10, 2014 (yes, that's a week from today) as it was previously released but only as a limited digital download.
The self-titled album was recorded in Silverlake, CA at The Boat, which happens to be owned by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. Incidentally, although not a member of the band, Flea performed all the bass tracks for the album. Currently on tour promoting its release, ANTEMASQUE can be seen at the following places and times:
