Blind Worms, Pious Swine is the twenty-ninth studio album by Omar Rodríguez-López as a solo artist, released on 12 August 2016. It is his third release in the 12 album series initiated by Ipecac Recordings.^[1]

According to Rodriguez-Lopez, Blind Worms was one of his last solo records before forming Bosnian Rainbows, and the first to be recorded in El Paso after moving back from Mexico.^[2]

The fourth track, "Lights", is a cover of the 2010 song by Ellie Goulding, and the first ever cover to appear on a Rodriguez-Lopez album. The album closes with the final four tracks forming one 11-minute instrumental piece all together.

"Vanishing Tide" was uploaded in advance as the album's single.
