'Minor Cuts and Scrapes in the Bushes Ahead' is the newest in a series of archival solo releases by Omar Rodriguez Lopez of The Mars Volta.
Recorded in 2001-2002, shortly after completing the Tremulant EP, The Mars Volta's debut, the forgotten album was initially available only to friends
on minidisc. Comprised of approximately 10 mostly instrumental tracks, Minor Cuts occupies some realm between Omar's familiar rock/jazz/Latin
hybrids (The Apocalypse Inside of An Orange) and his experimental solo releases (Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus). There is a sometimes
menacing juxtaposition of various collaged sounds, while the melodies and structures remind one of some elements of The Mars Volta. Minor Cuts is
comparable to some of the most enduring work of artists as varied as Brian Eno, Throbbing Gristle, and John Frusciante.
