Skeletal Lamping

After nearly a year of planning, work, and late nights, Polyvinyl and of Montreal are pleased to announce of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping is now available for pre-order. Pre-orders ship September 29 and the album will be in stores October 7.

All pre-orders include a free 3-song digital download code featuring of Montreal rarities as well as two 3"x3" David Barnes and Gemini Tactics stickers and a 4"x4" sticker by David Barnes.

Skeletal Lamping may be bizarre, complicated, and dense, but it's also extremely catchy and packed with slinky grooves that demand a physical response. Instantly ingratiating hooks abound as the album's compositions constantly mutate and shape-shift in ways that defy conventional pop song structure and album sequencing.

Though of Montreal have never been strangers to expressing sexuality in their music, Skeletal Lamping finds Barnes fully immersed in the topic. Throughout the record, sexuality is presented as a broad continuum encompassing a wide range of experiences, anxieties, emotions and orientations.
