The Sunlandic Twins (2xCD)
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 opera. Beginning buoyant and opalescent, traversing a labyrinthine Neptune, and climaxing in blackout darkness one only discovers in warm solitude.![]()

| This is probably the best album of 2005 that I didn't hear about until now. This band releases something like a ful length every year and they are all pretty great. Lets see your new band pull that off! | |
