Omar Rodriguez is the self titled second solo album by The Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. It was written and recorded in Amsterdam in early June 2005. Most of the overdubs and mixing were done on the road in September 2005. Gold Standard Laboratories began offering a limited edition vinyl picture disc of this release for mail order in December 2006.
The Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Quintet, which formed in unison with the release of this record, toured briefly in the Netherlands in the fall of 2005 in support of this new release. Joining then on stage for one performance was Damo Suzuki, for the song Please Heat This Eventually which would resurface on later releases from the group.
