Kevin Barnes-fronted oddball popsters of Montreal's follow-up to their acclaimed Hissing Fauna... LP of 2007 (review) will be released on October 7 stateside.

Skeletal Lamping is the band's second long-player for Polyvinyl; its UK date, we don't have. See them play tracks from it at a pair of DiS-sponsored festivals this summer:

August
9 London Field Day (info/tickets)
10 Leicester Summer Sundae (info/tickets)

You asked for it

You got it.

The Past Is A Grotesque Animal is great. As is all of Hissing Fauna... (especially She's A Rejecter) - look forward to this album.

And I fucking hate the word fanboy

i'm just sorry but that song is one of the best things they have ever done. The fact hissing fauna is a concept album, this song is the most essential on it as it links two major parts of the story together... i.e. the nervous break down and his eventual personality change from hopeful shy kid to narcasistic self doubter.
