The Download Extra: New Of Montreal Stream

By ANDY VIHSTADT

Of Montreal announced it will be releasing its ninth LP, Skeletal Lamping, on October 9 via Polyvinyl. Kevin Barnes posted this disclaimer on his MySpace blog:

I wanted to make an album that was unpredictable and, at times, startling, yet always hummable and catchy. Some of the transitions are intentionally awkward. I did this to keep the listener off guard and to dismantle people’s perception of how an album is supposed to be constructed.
