Old Money is the eighth studio album by American guitarist and composer Omar Rodríguez-López, his first with Stones Throw Records who released CD and MP3 versions on November 10, 2008 and a vinyl version in February 2009.[8] Rodríguez-López explained that the album is "loosely based on the concept of exploitative industrialists and, well, their old money."[9]
Rodriguez-Lopez has hinted that this record was a thematic sequel to the 2006 album Amputechture by his band The Mars Volta.[10]
Review aggregate site Metacritic calculates a score of 70/100 for the album, but erroneously referred to it as "The debut album for the Mars Volta guitarist".[11]
In the song "I Like Rockefellers' First Two Albums, But After That...", there is a dialog from the movie El Topo, from Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky.
