Background

Unlike the previous 6 albums in the series, Cell Phone Bikini has Teri Gender Bender providing all the lead vocals and lyrics.
"Truth Binds Us" originates from the instrumental Mars Volta demo recorded around 2008, which first surfaced among tracks leaked in August 2013. It is reworked here with Deantoni Parks on drums.
Tracks 1-2 and 7-8 form two single songs, "Childless Mothers Holding Hell" and "Wolf Kisses are Fishes".
