Chocolate Tumor Hormone Parade is the third live album by Omar Rodríguez-López, and his sixteenth release in the album series initiated by Ipecac Recordings, the fourth of the 2017 series.
The album is culled from live recordings made during the Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Group concerts in 2012. ORLG line-up at the time consisted of Rodríguez-López, Juan Alderete and Deantoni Parks, with Teri Gender Bender appearing as a guest vocalist on three songs. However, on the album Alderete’s bass parts are replaced by new parts allegedly recorded by Rodríguez-López himself in studio; some of the vocal tracks also appear to be overdubbed. All songs were released in the 2012 album trilogy of Un Corazón de Nadie, Saber, Querer, Osar y Callar and Octopus Kool Aid.
The original song titles aren’t used; tracklist instead reads as the album title divided into ten parts.
Ensayo de un Desaparecido is the forty-second studio album by Omar Rodríguez-López, and the seventeenth release in the album series initiated by Ipecac Recordings, the fifth of the 2017 series.
The album is a re-recording/reimagining of Xenophanes (2009), presented in a more stripped-down fashion compared to the original.
