It's a Monday, and although I haven't officially started my job yet {still waiting for a visa application and then a chance to move to Shanghai} I do have a distinct feeling what Monday's are all about. They are usually meh. And when I'm feeling lethargic or down and out there is one song that consistently pulls me from the depths of any sort of despair and sets my feet to dancing. That would be this song which hails from last years Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? (amazon ) (itunes ). If you can keep yourself from dancing when the "oooh, ooohs" start at just after four minutes into the song you should have someone check your pulse. The stream of consciousness narrative in this song is just brilliant. I love the lines "at least I author my own disaster" and "things could be different, but they're not."

Of Montreal, aka Kevin Barnes, are putting out their new album, Skeletal Lamping, on October 7th of this year and the rumours continue to circulate that they've taken a leap off their beaten path. This could mean an amazing album is hitting shelves soon. Keep your ears open.

i have been listening to this album a lot lately. it's getting me really excited for their new one. i like what i have heard so far! should be quality.
moving to Shanghai for a job? sounds exciting, good luck!
"they’ve taken a leap off their beaten path. This could mean an amazing album is hitting shelves soon" ???
i wouldn't expect anything less than amazing from this band.. Barnes is a genius and anything he creates is golden. i like that they evolve and that hissing fauna was not as close a relation to sunlandic as sunlandic was to panic in the attic.. however, those albums are impecable imo..
i'm sure skeletal lamping is just another newborn piece of gold... psychedelic angelic harmonies is what i call it..
happy listening

I'm a huge fan and whenever I'm down, I listen to "the Party's Crashing Us Now" off of Sanlandic Twins.
The new album's leaked and I heard it. It's completely structureless.
