Of Montreal
The brainchild of singer/guitarist Kevin Barnes, euphoric indie popsters Of Montreal were among the second wave of bands to emerge from the sprawling Elephant 6 collective. A native of Athens, GA, Barnes was inspired to form the group in the wake of a broken romance with a woman from Montreal; signing to Bar/None while living in Florida, he subsequently moved to Cleveland and Minneapolis in search of compatible bandmates, finally returning home to collaborate with bassist Bryan Helium (also a member of Athens' Elf Power) and drummer Derek Almstead.

Hailing from Athens, Of Montreal have carved their own niche in the indie-pop world, establishing themselves as a uniquely twisted band that thrills fans with compelling live performances, delights critics with their constant innovations and refinements, and continually showcases their musical evolution that culls together influences as varied as Brian Eno, Television, Prince, and The Shins. The Sunlandic Twins is their most cohesive and adventurous record to date. It plays out like an electro pop op [ read more ]

SOUND SAVER. An interesting follow up to the highly engaging "Coqolicot" epic conceptual masterpiece, "Arboretum" lets Of Montreal remind us of their amazing ability to craft perfect rock songs. An album where each song is provocative and challenging but still danceable and easy to sing along with.

Of Montreal's second release for Bar None, "The Gay Parade," is a place where one can go to be in the company of funny creatures, eccentric characters, and bizarre architecture. It's an escape from the everyday, from disappointment and disillusion and the dangerous unpredictability of love. Of Montreal is the brainchild of Kevin Barnes, and his band has long been part of the Elephant Six collective of young, prolific musicians that includes Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, and Music Tap [ read more ]

Hailing from the '90s-resurgent Athens, Georgia scene, unofficial homebase to the Elephant 6 collective, Of Montreal is perhaps the least publicized band in the Elephant 6 stable but not because they make the least-worthy music. To the contrary, Cherry Peel is one of the most unabashedly pretty releases from that group, and, in fact, stands apart from most everything in the pop scene due to its simple, unassuming innocence. The vocals of songwriter Kevin Barnes are achingly heartfelt and puppyish, and his s [ read more ]
