About this album
Skeletal Lamping is the title of the ninth studio album by Athens, Georgia-based band of Montreal. Kevin Barnes said about the title: “This record is my attempt to bring all of my puzzling, contradicting, disturbing, humorous…fantasies, ruminations and observations to the surface, so that I can better dissect and understand their reason for being in my head. Hence the title, Skeletal Lamping. Lamping is the name of a rather dreadful hunting technique where hunters go into the forest at night, flood an area in light, then shoot or capture the animals as they panic and run from their hiding places.”
In an interview with Wireless Bollinger in 2007, Kevin Barnes described his concept for the follow-up to Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? as an album composed of hundreds of consecutive short segments ranging from thirty to fifty seconds in length, with the intention that it “feel like one long piece with hundreds of movements.”
In a recent interview with Pitchfork Media, Barnes stated that of Montreal will continue to evolve with Skeletal Lamping:
“Musically, it is sort of all over the place, too. There really isn’t necessarily a sense of continuity there. It’s definitely funkier. It’s maybe developing off of things like “Faberge Falls for Shuggie” and “Labyrinthian Pomp” from Hissing Fauna. It’s kind of moving things in those directions. It’s something that I find exciting, as it’s not something that I’ve really worked with a lot in the past. It still holds some mystery for me. I really feel there is something I can use in that genre. It’s fun for me too because it kind of […] goes against the kind and gentle side of indie rock. Funk music is not like that at all.”

The bad thing about this album is that it sounds like 60 little songs all glued together and I never pay attention to the track names, so I never know where ANYTHING is. It's a good listen all the way through though.

Just as good as Hissing Fauna, if not better.

Amazingly flamboyant.... but amazing nonetheless. Must be played at high volumes with the windows rolled down so people beside you can stare.

I kind of understand why people are so-so on this album or flat-out dislike it. There's just too many unbelievably good moments on it for me to not love it.
