Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (of The Mars Volta) have teamed up to release a new album and they are literally giving it away!
According to the duo this 30 minute instrumental album, which is simply titled Omar Rodriguez-Lopez & John Frusciante, “was recorded many years ago” but never released. This album is part of a series of collaborations initiated by The Mars Volta guitarist.
