John to sing on Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’s solo album.
(Danke schön, Melissa! And thanks to other Melissa for fixing my embarrassing typo!)
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is preparing yet another new album and, as said on the D.E.I.M.O.S MySpace blog, John is going to contribute his vocals to it.
Calibration is another in a series of albums written while Omar Rodriguez Lopez was living in Amsterdam in 2005. Similar to the recent Se Dice Bisonte No Bufalo album, Omar utilized his usual cast of contributors to perform some of the tracks, while completing others by himself. With an emphasis on electronic, dub and synth-based compositions, the resulting album has more in common with Rodriguez’s DE FACTO output than with his rock-oriented work. Calibration includes vocal appearances by Cedric Bixler Zavala and John Frusciante, as well as performances by Thomas Pridgen, Juan Alderete de la Pena, Money Mark, and more. Album art was created by world-reknowned graffiti artist GREY, a childhood friend of Omar’s and longtime artistic collaborator.
