Oh wow, on Spotify Wicked Wisdom has been replaced with a version with a new line + vocal melody for the "what you people are all about" part

Fingerless GlOves from, 'I Feel Safe With You, Trash." Super great track, and overall album!

Mmm... it's almost like White Is Relic/Irrealis Mood, but much longer! I'm very happy, so far!

If we all band together and never stop listening to Of Montreal that crazy dip in scrobbles from October 2020 will never happen again. <3

One of the best live shows. I remember them changing almost every song, interacting with the crowd, and trippy projetions cast upon them. Would love to see them live again.

Yep! I've seen 'em countless times and it always feel different, full of surprises, and (unlike a lot of other acts) they keep the tunes coming 'til the venue shuts down! A party of parties, every time!

What happened to this band, man? Such a terrible 10 years for them. I think Skeletal Lamping was the last one I actually enjoyed

I may not love each album the same, but each album represents a very real time for Kevin Barnes who writes as if in a diary. It's not all gonna be about taking ecstasy and banging on anything that walks forever. Real people change, and Kevin is quite dynamically real. I know, because I've also had lots of life shit going on for me in the past ten years, and Kevin's music has always been there to remind me that I wasn't alone. Just because an album wasn't written for (the current listener) at the time it came out, doesn't mean it will never have value. Sometimes, you just have to be in the right mind at the right time to hear a piece of music "the right way."

Took me ages to get into Skeletal Lamping. That's the last one I've really bonded with. But fuck there is such a sick back catalogue to get into as well.

Skeletal Lamping was an album Kevin wrote that he "had to write for his own sanity." At the time, it wasn't really known, but he was having marital difficulties with his wife, Nina Twin, who was also in the band at the time. Beyond that album chronicles the divorce, seemingly endless nastiness between the two, and now we have him moving on and finding new companionship. It's really a nice story when you stand back and look at the whole life of the band!

I really wish I could see you guys on that UR Fun tour that was abruptly interrupted by something we all wish would go away! I miss of Montreal concerts so much! That's a real party, right there!

You've Had Me Everywhere at the top. Yup. Such a sweet and beautiful thing to write to someone.

Peace to All Freaks, You've Had Me Everywhere, and Don't Let Me Die in America are all instantly loved by me. The album starts flawlessly with Peace, and You've Had Me Everywhere is one of the sweetest love songs I've ever heard. America is just a rockin' good track.

Oooh, and that bassline in Deliberate Self-Harm! There's a lot to latch on to, I think!

god, they have such a fun discography to explore -- so prolific, so much of it good to great, always playing around with a slightly different sound.

If you're ready to jump right into weird, go for Hissing Fauna (their lyrical masterpiece), White Is Relic/Irrealis Mood (dance-able, intricate, paranoia-induced electronic pop), or Skeletal Lamping (basically, sexy, schizophrenic, psychedelic funk). Or if you want to ease into it with something *slightly* more accessible, Innocence Reaches and The Sunlandic Twins. And if you think you don't like a song one minute into it, keep listening because they often end in a completely different place.

Depends how messed up you are in the head. Skeletal Lamping if you are very messed up, and The Sunlandic Twins if you're just a bit emo.

New album is amazing! Does anyone know of other stuff like this? Groovy raved out synthy stuff combined with funky bass and guitar?

Listen to Janelle Monae, she even does a duet with Barnes, check out The ArchAndroid in its entirety.
