Album Review: Of Montreal – False Priest

In 2006, Sam Harris published Letter to a Christian Nation , a short book that calls into question some of the ideas that religious fundamentalism perpetuates in our country (and really, throughout the world in various religious forms). But at its heart, Harris was out to question the concept of believing in anything so absolutely that one is willing to give up his own life, hurt his loved ones, and even drain our planet of its resources in the name of God. Whatever your stance, it's hard to deny that for every Mother Theresa, there is a Glenn Beck; [...]

You Took Me Centuries To Master

of Montreal featuring Solange "Sex Karma" Kevin Barnes is typically bipolar on his albums, shifting back and forth between declarations of love and lust and bitter, cruel condemnations. He's very good at expressing both extremes, but on the whole, I prefer the songs that convey genuine sweetness and desire if just because those are more scarce in modern pop. "Sex Karma" is very much one of those. It's flirty and light, a head rush of infatuation and fascination that feels almost as good as the real thing. It's not overly serious either. It's playful and goofy, [...]

Active Child – When Your Love Is Safe (Classixx Remix)

Active Child – When Your Love Is Safe (Classixx Remix) I don't exactly know what bedroom pop means. But this song should be called bedroom pop. Cuz it's total bedroom music, if you catch my drift, wink wink, nudge nudge. I mean, the original version of this killer Active Child tune was already enough to drive a couple of kids (over 18 of course) straight into the bedroom. But then Classixx straight up mid 90s TLC R&B'ed it up and made it even more ripe for all kinds of innapropriate, but in a very nostalgic and appropriate way. This remix just [...]

Gulping Plankton: of Montreal, False Priest.

Gulping Plankton: of Montreal, False Priest. False Priest is Kevin Barnes' tenth studio recording under his heartbroken guise, of Montreal. That's to say that of Montreal have now spawned a handful more records than Oasis ever did. Not that the cosmic pop contained within False Priest pertains to all that many parallels with Mancunian oafs thriving on vacuous anthemia. Especially as Noel & Liam effectively employed subastral capos to regurgitate the same four chords over, and over, and over again, whilst False Priest alone is brimming with a bustling galaxy of styles, sounds and genres. Chameleonic and hypnotic, I Feel [...]

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Crosby, Stills & Nash at The Air Canada Centre in Toronto

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Crosby, Stills & Nash at The Air Canada Centre in Toronto Frank Yang Honestly, I'd thought that Tom Petty had retired. Between the themes of he and The Heartbreakers' last studio record, 20022s The Last DJ , and the victory lap of 20062s 30th anniversary tour, I thought that he'd called it a day on active touring and my opportunities to see him perform had dried up. I don't know how or why I had that notion, but it was clearly wrong as Wednesday night, there I was at the Air Canada Centre, ready to see Mr. Petty and company for the first time [...]

Fol Chen new album and Singles

Fol Chen - In Ruins
Californian-born sextet Fol Chen have combined a quirky strain of electro- art –pop which is so deliciously off quilter it's hard not to be impressed by it. They were first brought to my attention via their single 'In Ruins' whose intro bears brashness akin to Sleigh Bells' 'Tell'Em' but quickly softens up with some Arabian Nights-like extracts [...]

Art Is Hard to release compilation via. a t-shirt/zine

Art Is Hard to release compilation via. a t-shirt/zine words: Jamie Milton This isn't an entirely original idea, I'll grant you that. Of Montreal released 2008's 'Skeletal Lamping' in the form of " a collection " which included t-shirts, badges and yes, some paper lanterns, and each package came with a digital download code. This either passed South West-England label Art Is Hard by, or they were greatly inspired by the concept. In all honesty, it's surprising that an idea of such potential has yet to spread, when you consider that the music industry is looking left, [...]

The video features an elaborate barbarian beach landing fight sequence, with loin-cloth sporting cannibals. You can download the single for free here from Polyvinyl , and starting next month, [...]
