of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping
Kevin Barnes:
Fuck you Tommy.
fuck youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Moist Cowboy:
Oh man, I love gimmick accounts.
Andrew Fleming:
I haven't been able to digest all of Skeletal Lamping yet.
But from what I've heard... I will say that I think it is so polarizing because it is weirdly personal and kind of stream-of-consciousness, but laboriously produced and very poppy.
Bands like Xiu Xiu manage to make this aesthetic work because they are not too concerned with sounding like pop music.
Outsider artists like Daniel Johnston or Gary Wilson make this work because they are not too concerned with production.
But being incredibly intimate and honest and letting your freak flag fly, but doing so i the concept of a carefully constructed and rather poppy album... it seems two-faced. And its hard as a listener to patch those two dimensions together.
I love Hissing Fauna, though, so I'm hoping I will learn to like Skeletal Lamping as well, even though I haven't really liked anything else of Montreal has done besides their post-Fauna EP.
Ballard:
God I hate Roseland Ballroom so much.
It's the most awful fucking venue. Be up front (first few rows) with ear plugs if you want to enjoy the show at all, otherwise the acoustics/terrible sound guys/awful layout will ruin it for you.
And if you're a fellow New Yorker, hit me up sometime if you enjoy meeting the internets.
squawk:
Love is All is the best. Probably in my top three Swedish bands. I need their new album, like, fuckin', now.
