Of Montreal - Gratuitous Abysses Performance Live in Brooklyn at Music Hall of Williamsburg

Venue: Music Hall of Williamsburg Location: Brooklyn, New York, United States Date: April 27, 2017

Before the live recording of "Gratuitous Abysses" on April 27, 2017, Of Montreal had just released their album "Innocence Reaches" in 2016. This album stepped away from their usual pop-up style, incorporating more electronic and experimental sounds, which was a refreshing evolution for the band. At this point in their career, Kevin Barnes, the band's frontman, was embraced for his eclectic stage presence and engaging live performances. It’s interesting to note that during this tour, Of Montreal was known for their whimsical and vibrant stage shows, often filled with elaborate costumes and visual art, reflecting the colorful aesthetics of their music. This performance marked a significant period for the band, blending their rich history with newer, genre-defying sounds that captured the audience's imagination.
