Of Montreal Release: Skeletal Lamping

Athens based Of Montreal is allegedly named after our city because of a Montreal girl the singer used to be in love with. What can be learned from this? Things we already knew, Montreal has all the cute alt girls.

They're new album Skeletal Lamping is chock-full of the requisite quirk and grandeur the band is known for and die hard fans won't be disappointed. That being said, if you didn't like Of Montreal before, you still won't like them. They're on tour in support of the new album and will be here on October 29th at Metropolis. I caught them last time they were in the city and was thoroughly impressed. I've never seen so many over the top costumes and props in any bands live show before. A spectacle to say the least.

The first stand out track, for me was St.Exquisite's Confessions; the first line really jumped out at me.

I'm so sick of sucking the dick of this, cruel cruel city
