The Mars Volta releasing acoustic LP; hear reimagined “Blank Condolences”

The Mars Volta returned with their first album in a decade last year, and they've reimagined those songs for a new stripped down, acoustic release. Que Dios Te Maldiga Mi Corazon, which Omar Rodríguez-López says is the band's version of a "folk record," is due out April 21 via Clouds Hill. They've shared the new version of "Blank Condolences," which you can hear below.

The Mars Volta will be on tour starting with Shaky Knees in May, and they've added a late show ahead of their set at the festival, on May 5 at The Masquerade in Atlanta. Tickets go on sale today (3/10) at 10 AM ET. See all dates below.
