Album:
Zach De La Rocha and Jon Theodore (former drummer if The Mars Volta) recently signed a deal with Anti Records for the new side project One Day As A Lion. The duo will release their self-titled debut album July 22 (track listing below).
The group hasn't released any music online for sampling, but have given us an engmatic explination of their project:
"One Day As A Lion is both a warning delivered and a promise kept."
"A defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare. It's a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask. One Day As A Lion is a recorded interaction between Zack de la Rocha and Jon Theodore from Los Angeles, California."
"The name taken from the infamous 1970 black and white, captured by legendary Chicano photographer George Rodriguez featuring a center framed tag on a white wall in an unspecified section of Boyle Heights. It reads: 'It's better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.' This record is a stripped down attempt to realize this sentiment in sound."
"One Day As A Lion" was recorded by Robert Carranza at Ocean Way Recording and was mixed by Mario C at MCJ Studio.
