of Montreal

This album marked a somewhat reflective and stripped-down evolution for the band, embracing a rawer sound and exploring more personal lyrical themes. During their performance at the Melt Festival, fans got to experience the vibrant energy and charisma of Kevin Barnes, the band's frontman, known for his theatrical style and engaging stage presence. Interestingly, this live concert was part of a larger trend where of Montreal was cultivating an even more unique fusion of pop and psychedelic sounds, further energizing their already devoted fan base. Fun fact: the band is known for their colorful, often elaborate live shows, which perfectly complemented the festival's lively atmosphere, turning the performance into a memorable highlight of that summer.
