Of Montreal Live Performance of New Song at Columbia University
In April 2010, during the live recording at Columbia University, Of Montreal was in a dynamic phase of their career, having just released their album "False Priest" in September 2010. This album marked a significant shift in their sound, embracing more of a funk-infused, theatrical approach, showcasing their evolution from indie pop to a blend that includes elements of funk, rock, and electronic music. It's interesting to note that frontman Kevin Barnes often infuses his personal experiences and emotional struggles into their lyrics, which resonates deeply with fans. The performance of the new song at this venue offered a glimpse into the experimental nature of the band's creativity during that period, as they played with vivid imagery and bold storytelling that would characterize "False Priest." It's a testament to their willingness to push boundaries and connect with their audience in fresh and unexpected ways.
