Just remember our past campaigns never relied on playing requests or going fully backwards\u2026 it\u2019s new shit, new people, left turns, tangent inconsistencies, mazapan dreams and churro wishes. I will say this though, when ORL played me a grip of new shit I fucking cried. Like Claire Daines in Romeo &amp; Juliet cried. Yeah it was fucking weird.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cIt\u2019s in its infancy right now. No deadlines, no ball tripping, no drama, just 2 grown ass men using essential oils and bold new perfumes shooting ideas and scooting their ass across the fucking lawn trying to get rid of these worms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last Mars Volta album, <em>Noctourniquet<\/em>, dropped in 2012. The duo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/the-mars-volta-break-up-245251\/\">announced<\/a> they were breaking up the following year. Bixler-Zavala revealed that news on Twitter as well, writing, \u201cI can\u2019t sit here and pretend anymore.
