thecontrollersphere

A mini-album of sorts, thecontrollersphere is a folk album only in the way of Montreal could envision a folk album. Clocking in at 23 minutes, thecontrollersphere includes the long-awaited studio version of live favorite "Black Lion Massacre" -- a pulsing sonic freak out that is the darkest and noisiest song Barnes has ever written and serves as hecontrollersphere's mission statement.

"There are many noisy moments that represent my attempt to communicate, in a sub human language, all that cannot be expressed with our earth tongue and all manners of mouth mechanisms. This little EP is a freak out record, have you ever seen anyone dancing to folk music? Well, like my fellow folk singing brother Bob Dylan once said, 'I'd dance with you Maria, but my hands are on fire.' Though, in this case, the world is roughly one year from extinction...or not." - K. Barnes.
