Of Montreal

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The brainchild of singer/guitarist Kevin Barnes, Of Montreal was 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 euphoric indie pop group in the wake of a broken romance with a woman from Montreal. He signed with Bar/None Records while living in Florida, subsequently moved to Cleveland and Minneapolis in search of compatible bandmates, and finally returned home to collaborate with bassist Bryan Helium (also a member of Athens' Elf Power) and drummer Derek Almstead...[more]

 

 

During the last three years Of Montreal have been on a tear: releasing 2004's Satanic Panic in the Attic and 2005's The Sunlandic Twins and spreading their dance party-inducing live shows to the masses. Now, of Montreal have created their masterpiece with Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? It's an irresistible and remarkable album, sounding like a logical extension of the erratic indie-disco sounds of The Sunlandic Twins. However, Hissing Fauna is also the most personal   [ read more ]

The third single from Skeletal Lamping, ?For Our Elegant Caste?, has been a highlight of the band's live show. Side-B is a remix by Depressed Buttons (Todd and Jacob of The Faint).Skeletal Lamping is a non-stop 58-minute romp through discordant sounds and combating personas...Psych pop set to the swagger of Prince and the rhythm of Curtis Mayfield, Skeletal Lamping is the modern mix album in the purest sense of the word' - Filter.

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.
