Of Montreal Live Performance of Faberge Falls for Shuggie in San Francisco
On February 3, 2007, Of Montreal delivered an electrifying performance at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, and by that point, they were riding high from the success of their album 'Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?' released just a year earlier. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, showcasing their experimental pop sound and introspective lyrics, exploring themes of identity and love. The track 'Faberge Falls for Shuggie,' featured in this live recording, perfectly encapsulates their blend of whimsical melodies and poignant narratives. It's fascinating to note that vocalist Kevin Barnes was profoundly influenced during this era, diving into the complexities of his emotions, making their live performances feel almost cathartic. This particular concert also highlights the vivid, theatrical elements that become a hallmark of their shows, drawing in fans with engaging visuals and infectious energy.
