of Montreal are going on tour this spring. Attendees can expect a subtle, low-key performance from the Athens-based musicians. “We have always believed that music comes first and all theatricality serves only as a distraction,” frontman Kevin Barnes said in a real interview. Sources report that the band has chosen its stage attire, a sensible polo-and-khakis combination.
PSYYYYYYCH! JUST PLAYING. THE UPCOMING OF MONTREAL TOUR IS SURE TO BE A FUN CONFETTI NIGHTMARE. LIKE A BAZ LUHRMANN FILM BUT MELTING AND WITH MORE MONSTERS. THEY MAY EVEN INTRODUCE A RHINOCEROS TO THE STAGE — WHO KNOWS? SOMETHING COULD GET SET ON FIRE. EVERYTHING COULD GET SET ON FIRE.
Last year, of Montreal released Lousy With Syvianbriar through Polyvinyl. Stereogum recently premiered a video for their single “She Ain’t Speakin’ Now,” directed by Yuan Liu and Owen Donovan. Kevin Barnes is currently swimming around in a Scrooge McDuck vault of glitter.
