Of Montreal

Of Montreal hail from Athens, Georgia. They've released five long-players in the States and built a strong following through extensive coast to coast touring and their close links with the Elephant 6 collective.

Their new album, Aldhils Arboretum, is available through the Track and Field Organisation and will be the band's first official UK release.

There are few bands whose music is as unabashedly happy as Of Montreal. Their songs soar and weave with energy and goodwill, daring listeners to walk away without a smile on their face. Listening to Of Montreal recalls the sweet aural psychedelia of Syd Barrett or Robyn Hitchcock.

Of Montreal's music floats and spins. Most of Kevin Barnes' songs are bittersweet paeans to heartbreak. Even the band's name commemorates a love gone wrong (he met a girl from Montreal, they fell in love, and she broke his heart, so he started a band and named it after her hometown). But heartbreak be damned! Everything is OK when you're listening to Of Montreal.»
