Known for theatrical shows and genre-blending albums, they’ve spanned psych-pop, electro-pop, glam, funk, and artful baroque twists across a prolific catalog.

Five DeBaser reviews trace of Montreal’s shape-shifting path: 60s-tinged psych-pop mosaics, electro-pop sparkle, glam/funk detours, and rootsy detours with surreal lyrics. Kevin Barnes leads the Athens, GA outfit tied to Elephant 6. Highlights include Hissing Fauna, The Sunlandic Twins, Satanic Panic in the Attic, False Priest (with Janelle Monáe and Solange), and Lousy with Sylvianbriar.
