of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping
WriterofAllWrongs:
He's more just kind of a silly guy with bipolar disorder. I kind of like the fact that he's doing something so dickish with his music just because it shows a certain playfulness and experimental nature in his work. He's not making serious music, but he hasn't really ever, so it seems logical that the next step from something as goofy and kitsch as Hissing Fauna... is an even more ridiculous but enjoyable album such as this. I can dig that he's not showing not even the slightest sign of sobriety in his music, but still keeping it entertaining.
Beast:
Kevin Barnes sounds like a douchebag in every interview I've read.

Ballard:
Beast, read this
It really pleasantly surprised me when I thought Kevin Barnes was a fucking idiot and is possibly one of my favorite essays on music.
