£17.99 – 1×12″ EP

As The Mars Volta’s debut release, 2002’s ‘Tremulant’ EP had much to accomplish within its three tracks and 19 minutes: to define the group’s ambitions and their possibilities, to sketch out a limitless horizon for their future adventures, and to shake loose the macho following they’d accrued with At The Drive-In’s final, breakthrough LP, ‘Relationship Of Command’, the dudes in the moshpit who just wanted to slam-dance to post-hardcore riffs.

‘Tremulant’ put this uncompromising ethos into play from the very off, first track, ‘Cut That City’ opening with two minutes of amplifier hum, synthesiser scree and drum-machine pulse.

Tracklisting:

1. Cut That City
2. Concertina
3. Eunuch Provocateur
