Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars What can a band due ten albums into their career to mix it up? Well, Of Montreal seem to use a bit of a stronger R&B influence on False Priest to add a little twist to their traditionally humorous pop smorgasbord. This album lives fairly close to the group's pastiche, and to top it off, it's a lot more cohesive than their last record, Skeletal Lamping . Groovy Kevin Barnes [...]
Of Montreal 's forthcoming album, ' False Priest ', is currently streaming online. The band's latest album is available to listen in full over at NPR . The follow-up to 2008's ' Skeletal Lamping ' is set for release on September 14 via Polyvinyl. The stream is up for a limited time so hurry.
It's only been ten days since these weirdoes graced us with some brand new music from their upcoming tenth studio album "False Priest". Back then I said that I loved the song in question "Coquet Coquette" , and this follows suit quite delightfully. It's not like the former, it's more synthetic and electronic, compared to the former's more guitar-orientated structure. This one plods along rather daintily visiting some points of soul along the way. "False Priest" is due out on September 14th via Polyvinyl. of Montreal - "Hydra Fancies" [...]
"False Priest", album number ten for of Montreal, is fast approaching (September 14th, via Polyvinyl) and in the run-up to the album they've done what most bands are doing these days, and that's releasing a few songs either for free or to radio stations to promote the album. This new song was found just lounging around the interwebs until someone found it and gave it to the masses (I'm gonna thank Stereogum), and here it is for you. I have to say I love it, and of Montreal can really blow hot and cold for me. I loved [...]
Out with the glam, in with the jam. Of Montreal goes au natural for their upcoming record.
There's a thin line, between love and hate" - The Persuaders I have a million songs to get to but I'll start with the new Of Montreal song, Gallery Piece . Their most recent album, Skeletal Lamping was released two days ago but Gallery Piece is hands down my favorite so I'll just focus on that. Not so simply put, this song is about a passionate, dysfunctional, obsessive, thrilling and extremely romantic relationship. I'm not a fan of drama but there's no denying the thrill of an emotionally diverse and complex relationship. [...]

As anyone who has ever used Google (or any search engine for that matter) already knows, it's practically impossible to do a search for anything (from thimble to sock puppet, from hamster to earplug) without bumping into a. Porn, or b. Something ridiculous and/or funny. I found a rather nice combination of both the other day, added some music and voila, here you go, Letters have no Arms is pleased to present its very own video for Of Montreal's Gallery Piece. Hope you enjoy it. [...]
Producer Jon Brion, most known for scoring the films Magnolia, Synechdoche NY, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , has taken two tracks from of Montreal's latest release, Skeletal Lamping, and completely reworks them. These songs stand apart from your average remixes, as Brion has added various instrumentation and backing vocals, resulting in wonderfully nintendo-rrific reinterpretations. I'm not going to lie, of Montreal is one of my favorite bands going, but even for non-fans, this is one hell of a juicy remix EP. Head on over to Polyvinyl and pick it up . MP3: [...]
Of Montreal offers sneak peak at John Brion remix EP.
Gli of Montreal sono il gruppo di Kevin Barnes e nonostante il nome riporti alla cittadina canadese vengono da Athens, Georgia. Hanno portato avanti dodici anni di carriera qualitativamente più o meno altalenante, ma riuscendo a sfornare più di un album ogni due anni. "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" è uscito due anni fa per Polyvinyl riscuotendo un un'ottimo successo di critica e pubblico. "Skeletal Lamping"è uscito lo scorso ottobre e ripercorre la fortunata miscela di pop psychedelico ed elettronica ballabile in maniera più precisa ma forse meno ispirata. Quello che [...]
Newest Video from Of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping. Watch it after the jump.
El Skeletal Lamping de Of Montreal fue estrenado hace ya varios meses, sin embargo, hasta ahora podemos ver el vídeo del segundo sencillo de este disco: "An Elurdian Instance" . Dirigido por Jesse Ewles, este vídeo sin duda sigue con la línea estética que el grupo ha adoptado para su arte y aunque marea un poco el movimiento constante de la cámara, creo que va perfecto con la canción. ¿A ustedes qué les parece?

First, before I fully get into the wrap-up list, I need to address a few albums that will not be on the list. Albums that were released LAST year that no one seems to remember the release date of: MGMT - Oracular Spectacular Oh man, whatever possessed me to not write about this last year is completely unknown to me, because I rocked Kids in my eardrums in to the darker days of last December, and well into the next year. As summer came and [...]

Following the unexpected critical and commercial success of Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? , it seemed like Of Montreal's Kevin Barnes had painted himself into a corner. If critics had considered that album a breakthrough because of its juxtaposition of romantic dissolution and bouncy glam, he would either have to start talking about Serious Things and become a Serious Artist, completing the expected maturation, or pull back from the thematic brink to explore the maximalist glitter aesthetic that now pervaded his musical and visual gestures. Needless to say, he went with the latter. [...]
Late Night alert: SubEx faves, Of Montreal will be performing on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight. We have confirmation from Polyvinyl Records, that Of Montreal will be allowed to use the theatrical aspects that led them to be named number 3 best live act on Pitchfork's 2008 Readers Poll Click here to purchase Skeletal Lamping =w=
Satanic Panic In The Attic , The Sunlandic Twins , Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer - all favorites of mine and all Of Montreal. You can now add Skeletal Lamping to the list. Of Montreal is a rare band that combine glam, soul, punk, house, electronica, funk, indie rock, and performance art all into one flaming cauldron of spectacle. Somehow it all seems to congeal into solid album after solid album. Skeletal Lamping has them picking up right where Hissing Fauna left off and that path seems to lead down [...]
of Montreal just got back from Sunlandia, they'd been there many times, and brought back many enchanting, orchestrated, pop songs to document their travels across this parallel world. Except this parallel world is all locked down inside Kevin Barnes' head, or maybe Georgie Fruit's. Confused yet? Don't be, it is what it is, except it, it's of Montreal, and it's great. . of Montreal was (is?) part of a second wave of performers to be born out of Atlanta Georgia's Elephant 6 Collective, which also includes Neutral Milk Hotel, [...]
