Woman Gives Birth To Tomato! is the twenty-fourth studio album by Omar Rodríguez-López, released under the name Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Group. Although Rodriguez-Lopez Productions intended to release the album on December 28, 2012 (which is the date listed on the Bandcamp page[4]), it was only made available on January 1, 2013, less than 2 hours after the release of Equinox. The album cover art had first appeared in the booklet for Rodriguez-Lopez's 2011 compilation album, Telesterion.
