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 ]

This, Of Montreal's fourth album, was released in 2001. It's the band's most ambitious album with songs of wonderful madness featuring strange musical interludes, a detective story, gentle love songs, and avant pop songs, ending with an 18-minute piano opus.

The sixth full-length and first for Polyvinyl from this Athens, GA band is bit of a departure from previous releases. There's a '70s Afro beat with an '80s new wave influence, and the songs are full of danceable electro hooks. Pop perfection riddled with hooks and ebullient vocals -- highly recommended for fans of Elephant 6 pixie dust!

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 ]
