While we've been off Christmasing with various family-folk, the world of music has been moving forward without us. Several bits of news and mp3's of some of SubEx's favorite acts have popped up, and some out of left field as well. First off, I received an email earlier in the week from vacationing local musician Austin Brown who is gallivanting around in Europe this week. He is posting pictures from his travels intermittently on his blog . Next comes a random mp3 from the inbox via the little-known Belgian band Sjfëttlïch . I didn't [...]
Bradley and Adam finally reunite as roomates! Adam finds something for his reading list, Bradley needs to learn Hungarian and the two record reviews are not as you would have expected. Attractive Eighties Women finally come into the studio and call us douchebags. Tame Impala - Remember Me (Free Via I Predict a Riot ) Oh No! Oh My! - Be A Star (Free Via You Ain't No Picasso ) Grizzly Bear - While You Wait For The Others (Free Via Stereogum ) Of Montreal - Id [...]
Here are a couple of songs from the new album, Skeletal Lamping . Of Montreal - Id Engager Of Montreal - Nonpareil of Favor Still not sure what I think of this band. I'm not into the new album, but I've heard it grows on you. My favorite Of Montreal song is still "Summertime in Oslo". To me, it sounds like a mix between Gorillaz and Belle and Sebastian.

Of Montreal's new album, Skeletal Lamping , is out now and I'm still digesting it. Right now it pretty much makes me feel just like this video of "Id Engager" which was directed by Marc Reisbig and Hanne Berkaak and features some pretty excellent/hilarious morphing animation. Take a look: mp3: Of Montreal - Id Engager Keep your eyes peeled for an album review of Skeletal Lamping soon. If you liked this post, check these out: [...]
...since that's when I seem to get to it. But this week, I present the clip for Id Engager , which-in standard Of Montreal fashion-is bright, colourful and trippy as all hell. The whole thing comes together like a funkier, more perverse Yellow Submarine excerpt, which is pretty cool all in all. And incidentally, the album Skeletal Lamping , which comes out this Tuesday, is perhaps Kevin Barnes's best work to date.
ALBUM: Of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping words: Jamie Milton Is it wrong, heartless even, to put an albums tracks on shuffle? Yeah, probably. Try getting the same effect from 'Kid A' or 'Untrue' when you let iTunes make its own tracklisting. So it's quite obscene that 'Skeletal Lamping' it more enjoyable when the tracks are scattered -they were scattered in the first place so by all means you can cross out the "heartless" part of the opening question above. This is only really because Kevin Barnes is a scatterbrain of [...]
Woohooo! I am willing to bet the next video will involve porn... and live animals... and... well who knows with Kevin Barnes & Co. =*HM*
No sé si porque desde agosto salió el mp3 o porque ya lleva más de un mes filtrado el Skeletal Lamping , pero los chicos de of Montreal ya se habían tardado en sacar el videoclip de "Id Engager", primer sencillo de su noveno álbum . Hoy por fin lo debutaron en Pitchfork. "Id Engager" es un video muy colorido en el que las creaturas y demás objetos raros dibujados en una hoja comienzan a tener vida. Fue dirigido por Marc Reisbig y Hanne [...]
Check out the debut of the new Id Engager video from Of Montreal's upcoming album 'Skeletal Lamping' (via Pitchfork Media). FluxBlog and You Ain't No Picass o have excellent reviews of Of Montreal's grandiose performance at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC (I just love the pic. [...]
Thanks to fellow Kentucky blogger You Ain't No Picasso and Stereogum, we now know what Of Montreal's elaborate new stage setup consists of. Here's the live debut of "Id Engager", performed at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC on Tuesday night, along with some crazy introductory stage antics that the band has become known for over the years. But with the addition of giant platforms and dancing ninjas, the only logical next step for Of Montreal's live show is a collaboration with Cirque Du Soleil. You can also check out the Mad Decent remix of "Id Engager" below where Diplo [...]
This is apprently NOT a fresh-out-the-kitchen song from Of Montreal, stupid Jan thought that when it came with the Insound sampler. Of Montreal has a tendency to reinvent themselves, they're like the Pink FLoyd of Indie-electro. But even though the costumes and the "oh I didn't see that one coming"-sounds are fun to look at and [...]
of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping is now available for pre-order (here) . Pre-orders ship September 29 and the album will be in stores October 7. All pre-orders include a free 3-song digital download code featuring of Montreal rarities as well as two 3"x3" David Barnes and Gemini Tactics stickers and a 4"x4" sticker by David Barnes . (on a side note, if you have never checked out the artwork of David Barnes then [...]
via Wikipedia I've read so many posts on Of Montreal today, that I had to jump on the wagon. I started listening to Skeletal Lamping four days ago, but I still haven't had the time to give the album the time that it deserves. As I said many months ago , Of Montreal's last album ( Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? ) was one of my top albums of 2007. I have to admit, I didn't think that the first time I heard the [...]
While I was up in Chicago this past weekend, it looks like Stereogum leaked the first single from Of Montreal's forthcoming ninth LP, Skeletal Lamping . Aside from that awesome title and cover art, the lyrical and musical content of the album are supposed to be along the lines of Of Montreal's last album, Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? , but Kevin Barnes stated in an interview with Pitchfork earlier this year that the album is "definitely funkier," something that is immediately obvious from this first leaked single "Id Engager." The track draws influences from disco and [...]
A tiempo para la promoción de su nueva producción titulada Skeletal Lamping , los chicos de Of Montreal y el sitio de Internet de la revista Spin ofrecen a sus fans la oportunidad de obtener de manera gratuita el primer sencillo de este nuevo álbum, que saldrá a la venta el próximo 7 de octubre. La canción se titula "Id Engager" y para obtenerla simplemente tienen que dar clic aquí y buscar el enlace para bajarla. Si sólo quieren escucharla, [...]
when we really should be writing our theses, sheela and i have spent much time instead listening to of montreal , amusing ourselves with george bataille 's cameo on the epic "the past is a grotesque animal" and marveling at the vaudevillian absurdity of the "heimdalsgate like a promethean curse" video, both from last year's emotionally draining indie-disco-pop breakthrough hissing fauna, are you the destroyer? . the band has come a long way from its early lo-fi pop to becoming one of the last-standing elephant six bands still alive and kicking in the scene. their [...]
INITIAL THOUGHTS - Of Montreal - Id Engager words: Jamie Milton 'Hissing Fauna...' was obviously to good to move on from. Being Of Montreal , of course there's a giant movement of variety from the tracks on their previous album but the general theme of high-pitched screams and jerky bass-lines kept together by a bold groove is still very much among ' Id Engager' , thank God. Compact and camp, it's the album closer for our most anticipated remaining album release of [...]
