Rumors have abounded over the past decade or so concerning the production of myriad documentaries surrounding '90s indie collective Elephant 6, the loose group of musicians whose members comprised Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo, Essex Green, Olivia Tremor Control, Circulatory System, Elf Power, Of Montreal, and a handful of other acts in and near Athens, Georgia...

On August 9, ethereal early  4AD  duo  Dead Can Dance will release their first new album in 16 years . The as-yet-untitled record, which Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry began writing last fall, follows 1996's  Spiritchaser . (The band has released a number of best-of comps over the years.)

The band will tour North American through August and September, and then Europe through October. These are their first dates since 2005. Watch a performance of 1994's "Sanvean" with ...

Of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes covered this old Melanie gem “Look What They Dont to My Song, Ma” for Line of Best Fit. You can hear the original at Youtube after you stream the cover below (because it annoyingly auto-starts) Head to LOBF for a video interview with Kevin

What was the Of Montreal frontman's biggest onstage disaster? And what does he think of band-inspired tattoos? The asymmetrical haired American singer-songwriter responds to YOU, dear reader!

In Canadian filmmaker Jesse Ewles, pop contortionists Of Montreal found someone with the mad visual skills to match their musical spirit. The video for “Spiteful Intervention,” off the band’s recent album “Paralytic Stalks,” is a painting in motion — a giant eye, Kevin Barnes’ face, blobs of color pulsing — all in arresting and rather [...]

Of Montreal might have made their trippiest video yet. Kevin Barnes takes on a moving painting feel in the video for “Spiteful Intervention.” After you’re done watching this one, check out the tour dates below to see if they’re coming to you neck of the woods. They’ll be hitting up Kentucky on June 19 — [...]

I was hoping against hope Of Montreal, who hail from Athens Georgia, would include a western prairie swing in this year’s tour to support “Paralytic Stalks” (February 7 / Polyvinyl), but it’s not meant to be this year. Not at all surprising, since they were at Sled Island in Calgary last June, I suppose, but [...]

Pitchfork just premiered of Montreal’s mind-blowing new animated video for “Spiteful Intervention,” which brings to life director Jesse Ewles’ surrealist, 17th century still-life inspired acrylic paintings as undulating blobs of color that morph frontman Kevin Barnes’ face into a series of monstrous singing creatures. Watch it below: At NPR, watch an entire of Montreal concert filmed at Washington DC’s 9:30 Club recently to experience their “wildly theatrical” stage setup on tour. of Montreal has also confirmed a string of U.S. …

When of Montreal first invented themselves as an all-out, electro party band, many gushed at their feet. ‘Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?’ was a perfect parcel of lead singer Kevin Barnes' breakdowns, fallouts and eccentricity. Coupled with multi-layered synths, wacky guitar solos and deeply personal lyrics it became the album to equally elevate and destroy a mood. Joined by an elaborate stage show which involved nakedness, huge theatrical performances and costumes influenced by Bowie and Prince, of Montreal were like a sickly sweet breakdown on LSD. But now five years on from ‘Hissing Fauna’ their latest album, ‘Paralytic Stalks ...

The Waiting Room is, generally speaking, an unenviable place to linger: shuddering gusts pass through its poorly hinged doors incessantly and irksomely; the floor is scarcely discernible beyond a crusty gloss of crud; malingerers squirm atop sticky benches to the left, to the left and to the right. Field Day's newly acquired Stoke Newington haunt of the same name is, however, a rather more inviting environ, its walls embellished with faded tiles and incongruous planks of floorboard. Factor in the fiddler in the basement, of Montreal's unsung superlative Kishi Bashi , and you've suddenly got something the hordes ...

Die Psychedelic-Popper Of Montreal bleiben ihrem Genre treu und veröffentlichen ein ekstatisches Video zum Titel "Spiteful Intervention" vom jüngsten Album " Paralytic Stalks ". Der Track wurde dabei von Regisseur Jesse Ewles in ein verrücktes, bewegtes Ölgemälde verwandelt, in welchem Frontmann Kevin Barnes den singenden Farbklecks mimt. Dabei behält sich das Lied die bewährte Mischung aus experimenteller Eingängigkeit und 60s-Sounds bei. Hört und seht hier, wie es klingen würde, wenn Edvard Munch ein singendes Bild malte: Of Montreal - "Spiteful Intervention" Bereits seit 1997 sind Of Montreal im US-amerikanischen Indie-Rock-Zirkus zu Hause. 2010 brachte die Fodas zehnte Album " False Priest " heraus.

‘Spiteful Intervention,’ the latest video from Of Montreal’s February release Paralytic Stalks , features frontman Kevin Barnes melting at the seems into a chasm of ethereal colors and shapes in the Jesse Elwes-directed video.

Of Montreal dropped the music video for ”Spiteful Intervention”, which makes viewers feel as if they dropped some acid. Here, we see frontman Kevin Barnes, but not before a pulsating blob of autumnal colors sketches his likeness. Toward the end we see what looks like a dragon, sort of with the distorted mouth of Munch’s ‘The Scream’.

Here's the trippy, colorful animated clip for Of Montreal 's "Spiteful Intervention" from Paralytic Stalks , directed by Jesse Ewles . It features an animated blob which morphs into a variety of shapes, including Kevin Barnes' face. The band also just added several North American tour dates.
