The titles will be released on a bi-weekly basis with the first spate of albums running through the end of the year. Each album will see a digital release with a limited number of physical copies (CD) available on Rodriguez-Lopez\u2019s various live outings. Following the initial run of releases, a limited edition CD\/LP box set will become available.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe best part about having a record label is that you get to choose to work with people that you really admire,\u201d<\/em> said Ipecac co-owner Greg Werckman.<em> \u201cWe had all admired Omar\u2019s work from afar and then recently got to know him up close. It was so great to find out that as talented as he is, he is an even better human being and we love having him as part of the Ipecac family. But, it seems that he has blatantly taken advantage of our friendship. Sure, we were excited to release his solo catalog\u2026 but this many titles??????? What have we gotten ourselves into?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rodriguez-Lopez adds, <em>\u201cIt\u2019s crucial in this day and age to be able to surround yourself with like minded people that you can share an ethos with. I feel grateful and fortunate enough to have found this with such amazing people: Mike, Greg, Shawn, Marc and the Ipecac family. After throwing around many different project ideas, this seemed like the best place to actually begin, on what will surely be a long lasting collaboration. I can\u2019t think of a better home for these records or of another label crazy enough to put out this much material. The series also owes its blood to the hard work and talents of Jon Debaun and Chris Common, who diligently scoured through endless hard drives to find these albums and provide such stellar mixes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h5>Initial release schedule:<\/h5>\n<p>Sworn Virgins (July 15)<br \/>\nCorazones (July 29)<br \/>\nBlind Worms Pious Swine (August 12)<br \/>\nAra\u00f1as en La Sombra (August 26)<br \/>\nUmbrella Mistress (September 9)<br \/>\nEl Bien Y Mal Nos Une (September 23)<br \/>\nCell Phone Bikini (October 7)<br \/>\nInfinity Drips (October 21)<br \/>\nWeekly Mansions (November 4)<br \/>\nZapopan (November 18)<br \/>\nNom De Guerre Cabal (December 2)<br \/>\nSome Need It Lonely (December 16)<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/orlprojects.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">orlprojects.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (At The Drive In\/Mars Volta) releases a series of solo albums via Ipecac Recordings with the first release, &#8216;Sworn Virgins,&#8217; available digitally on <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=22469\" title=\"Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (At The Drive In\/Mars Volta) announces a series of  solo albums\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22487,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,23,28,30,1907],"tags":[110,5006,5087,3475,5088],"class_list":["post-22469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-new-release","category-news","tag-at-the-drive-in","tag-ipecac-recordings","tag-mars-volta","tag-omar-rodriguez-lopez","tag-sworn-virgins"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/1467826420253-d9qo4sgp53-44382c7f89b0c257775e9a690e3fc28e.jpg?fit=600%2C338&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-5Qp","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":22960,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=22960","url_meta":{"origin":22469,"position":0},"title":"Omar Rodriguez-Lopez premieres &#8216;Running Away&#8217; video","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"August 1, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (At The Drive In\/Mars Volta) premieres the video for Running Away, which is lifted from the latest in his ongoing series of solo albums, 'Corazones.'
