Of Montreal Acoustic Performance of 'My British Tour Diary' Behind The House of Blues
In November 2008, of Montreal was riding high on the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Skeletal Lamping,' which had dropped just weeks prior, in October. This album showcased Kevin Barnes' signature blend of psychedelic pop and experimental sounds. The live acoustic performance captured in Dallas was a unique glimpse into the band's more intimate side, highlighting Barnes' personal storytelling and songwriting. What's fascinating is that this period marked a significant evolution for the band, transitioning toward more daring and eclectic musical explorations. The street performance after their House of Blues show created an informal and spontaneous vibe—a charming contrast to the more polished sound of their studio work. This interplay between spectacle and intimacy speaks volumes about of Montreal's artistic identity during this phase of their career.
