Of Montreal

12/20/08 | by David Raffin [mail] | Categories: music

My latest musical discovery is a band from Georgia, “Of Montreal.” That’s deep south Georgia – not Soviet Georgia, (or ex-Soviet Georgia, though that would be, I suppose, even better).

Their latest album, “Skeletal Lamping” is a concoction of mostly danceable songs which float and drift from theme to theme and sound to sound even within each track.

I can also recommend the previous album, “Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?”
And I’m not even recommending that because the title reminds me of Philip K. Dick. Though I’m sure that helps.

The album previous to that was called “The Sunlandic Twins.” This album contains the song “Wraith pinned to the mist and other games.” The song was used in a commercial for the outback steakhouse, though with altered lyrics. For this, some people decry the band as sellouts. Why exactly these people expect the band to starve I do not know.

"Not since radical physicist Benny Hill first postulated that time slowed down while being chased by bikini-clad women; however, from the vantage point of the viewer, time sped up, have the masses been witness to such a momentous spectacle."
