The Mars Volta return with first new single in 10 years "Blacklight Shine"
The Mars Volta have finally returned with new single "Blacklight Shine", marking their first new material in a decade.
After unveiling their audio/visual cube installation at LA's Grand Park over the weekend, The Mars Volta have released a new single titled "Blacklight Shine", which is teamed with a video directed by the band's Omar Rodríguez López.
The Mars Volta's Cedric Bixler-Zavala says the song is about "a wave of rolling blackouts washing memories onto shore, a heartbeat that still remembers everything."
The new outing marks The Mars Volta's first new material since their 2012 album Noctourniquet.
Back in 2019, Bixler-Zavala confirmed in a now-deleted tweet that a new chapter is "happening".
