The Clouds Hill Tapes Parts I, II & III

The Clouds Hill Tapes Parts I, II & III is the first release on Clouds Hill records by Omar Rodríguez-López as a solo artist. It is a 3 LP set featuring tracks from nine of Omar's twenty-three records released in the "Ipecac Series" of 2016–2017 and serves as a compilation grouping distinct genres of his vast array of music across three 180 gram 12" vinyl. The box set includes 10 monochrome photographic prints taken during the recording session at Clouds Hill Studio in 2019.[1]

Pre-orders were announced on May 26, 2020 for the vinyl box set to release two months later. The Tapes serve as Omar's first physical solo release since 2012 as well as his very first solo release through the Clouds Hill label apart from the Faust & Omar Rodríguez-López collaborative 10" EP of the ongoing ...Live At Clouds Hill series.

The majority of the tracks were initially recorded between 2011–2012 during a highly prolific creative period. 8 of these 20 songs were performed at the studio in November 2018 by a new Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group that debuted at the annual Clouds Hill Festival.
