Of Montreal

If you didn’t post Of Montreal lyrics in your Myspace bulletin, can you even say you were into indie in the circa mid-2000s? From Sylvia Plath to David Bowie, Of Montreal founder Kevin Barnes’ (also known as Georgie Fruit) spectrum of influences is as dizzying as his dance-worthy malaise. As if Of Montreal’s ambition were in question, 2018 marks the release of White is Relic/Irrealis Mood, the band’s 15th studio record in 22 years. Pioneers of glitch pop, which is devoid of traditional structure or hooks, Of Montreal paved the way for lovers of theatrical glam.
