Weekly Mansions

Weekly Mansions is the thirty-fifth studio album by Omar Rodríguez-López as a solo artist, released on 4 November 2016. It is his ninth release in the 12-album series initiated by Ipecac Recordings.

Co-written between Omar and his brother Marcel, Weekly Mansions is described as "an eclectic exploration of neo-electro-dance". , and is one of the few Rodriguez-Lopez's albums to not feature any guitar whatsoever. It was mostly recorded in Japan in 2011, with the title likely a reference to the Japanese hotel chain.

"Metallic Sweating for the Rich" contains the original track used as the outro to "Piedras y Ansiedad" from 2010's Tychozorente. "Disheartening Envelope" is an extended version of "Células Hermosas", previously released on Octopus Kool Aid, elements of which were present throughout Tychozorente as well. "Want, Need, Scream in a Dream" is an original version of what eventually became the intro to The Mars Volta's song "Zed And Two Naughts" from Noctourniquet.

"Science Urges" was uploaded in advance as the album's single and went on to be re-recorded by Omar in 2018 and released on July 24, 2020, as part of The Clouds Hill Tapes Parts I, II & III.
