of Montreal

Hailing from Athens, Georgia, Of Montreal is the brainchild of the enigmatic and eccentric Kevin Barnes. With a career spanning over two decades, this indie pop outfit has become a staple in the alternative music scene, known for their eclectic sound, elaborate live performances, and out-of-this-world imagination.

Led by the visionary Barnes, Of Montreal’s discography is a kaleidoscopic journey through genres, blending elements of psychedelia, glam rock, 80s synth-pop, and avant-garde experimentation. Each album is a testament to Barnes’ fearless pursuit of sonic exploration, pushing boundaries and defying conventions with every release.

But it’s not just the music that sets Of Montreal apart – their live shows are like stepping into a surreal carnival of colours, costumes, and theatrics. Barnes, a master showman, transforms the stage into a whimsical playground, captivating audiences with his theatrical flair and boundless creativity.

From the infectious grooves of early hits like "Suffer For Fashion" and "Gronlandic Edit" to the introspective musings of later albums such as "Lousy with Sylvianbriar" and "Innocence Reaches," Of Montreal continues to defy expectations and redefine what it means to be a truly original band in today’s music landscape.

So, buckle up, dear readers, and prepare to be taken on a wild and wondrous ride with Of Montreal. With this band, there are no limits, no rules – just pure, unadulterated sonic bliss.
