Remember how "Id Engager"'s disco ends on an ominous note? The Skeletal Lamping closer's oddly scripted B-side "Alter Egagle Whoa" follows that escalating path, taking the party down a notch without disturbing your rug shaking.

New of Montreal - "Alter Egagle Whoa"
of Montreal @ Roseland Ballroom, NYC 10/10/08
-
Artist:
We'd given fair warning about of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping stage setup, but we weren't prepared for all the stops they pulled out for their show this past Friday at Roseland, NYC. Like, for instance: By now you may have heard that Kevin Barnes sang "St. Exquisite's Confessions" while sitting on and stroking a white horse. Understandably, the place lost it. (We have photos to prove it.) While...

Of Montreal @ Roseland Ballroom 10.10.08

Artist:
Kevin Barnes from Of Montreal sits atop a white horse at New York's Roseland Ballroom Before Of Montreal's show at Roseland, I confessed to photog extraordinaire Kathryn Yu that I've become a bit more jaded than I was when I first started this site. It's taken four years, but I'm no longer content to see a [...]

I really, really, really like the new Of Montreal Song

Artist:

Album:
There are a lot of Of Montreal haters out there - I should know, because I am guilty of being one of them over the past few years. "The theatrics took place of the music" I cried, "Indie rock shouldn't used to be sell steaks," others said (I mostly just said "That's nice, Kevin Barnes can buy a house now," about that one). But, the point here is this - Of Montreal, despite their theatrics, thei...

of Montreal Sing About Dental Hygiene, Get Remixed By Mad Decent

Album:
On the eve of ambitious, enjoyably horn-dog Skeletal Lamping, the pansexual glam troupe of Montreal have recorded a song about keeping your mouth clean: It's aimed at getting kids to brush and will appear on Yo Gabba Gabba!, that Nick Jr./Nogging show for hip kids. MGMT, Mates of State, the Ting Tings, and the Roots are also stopping by this season, though I have no idea what those folks will s...

Of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping
-
Artist:
Skeletal Lamping is so psychotically overambitious, so ballsy, bewildering, beautiful, mad, terrifying, romantic, depraved, unwieldy, illogical and just plain wrong that it shames the aspirations of near enough anyone you might call Of Montreal's peers

Of Montreal: “Id Engager”
-
Artist:
Of Montreal: "Id Engager"I am always fascinated and entertained by artists who follow their muse. The ones who follow them everywhere. Artists who don't stop at the cliff's edge, but ones who dive off of it into the black depths of the ocean, emerging from time-to-time with a new artifact. Sometimes those artifacts are brilliant pieces of beauty and truth and sometimes those artifacts are ma...

This year Of Montreal are the gift that keeps on giving. Hot on the heels of their "Superman," "Day Man" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" covers, is this one from their recent Atlanta show. Here they offer their take on Franz Ferdinand's now-classic "Take Me Out" after a little bit of stage cleaning. As always, email [...]

of Montreal's New Stage Show Looks Ridiculous
-
Artist:
A friend close to Camp of Montreal warned me a few months ago that missing the new oM stage show would be a bad idea, detailing the absurd audio/visual orgy the band had planned. That was wise counsel. The last time we saw a Skeletal Lamping cut performed live it was last tour with a stage show that was comparatively, well, skeletal. This clip of "Id Engager " captured during the band's tour o...

Sparks: “Good Morning”
-
Artist:
Well this is an Of Montreal sort of day, apparently. When I first heard Skeletal Lamping, the first band I thought of was Sparks' early work — mostly for the approach he's been taking to his vocals and production. Now, as I'm getting ready for my trip to New York to see Of Montreal, [...]

Artist:
Whoa buddy. Looks like I'm in for a wild time at Friday's New York show. Here's the set opening track "Id Engager" off Of Montreal's newest album Skeletal Lamping. It's played in concert as theatrical as its album version would indicate it should be. And guys, here's the crazy part: this is just the first [...]

Of Montreal's Kevin Barnes On Selling Out

Artist:
With all the fallout for Of Montreal's song "Wraith Pinned To The Mist And Other Games" being used in an Outback Steakhouse commercial as well as a recent T-Mobile video shoot which featured the band, fans are learning that the group is making a effort to, well, cash in.In a open letter to Stereogum.com, frontman Kevin Barnes has made an attempt to at least explain himself. Are you a sell o...
