of Montreal

Musical Group

American indie/psychedelic pop band from Athens, Georgia, led by Kevin Barnes. Active since 1996 and associated with the Elephant 6 scene.

Led by Kevin Barnes; associated with the Elephant 6 milieu; known for heavy quotation of 1960s/1970s pop/psychedelia, eclectic arrangements and theatrical, baroque-pop songwriting.

DeBaser reviews portray of Montreal as a persistent revivalist with a vivid taste for 60s/70s quotation and kaleidoscopic pop. Critics praise Kevin Barnes's arrangements, baroque-psychedelic touches, and strong melodic sense. Some reviews note occasional self-indulgence and excess. Overall reception on DeBaser trends positive, highlighting several standout albums.

For:Fans of psychedelic/indie pop, listeners who follow Elephant 6-related bands, and anyone interested in retro-quotation and baroque pop arrangements.

 the past is a foreign country.

 The single "Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse" is one of those that you like from the first listen: a simple and linear melody supported by an arrangement that is nothing short of extravagant and flavored with electro-pop sounds that at times remind me of my old Nintendo.
