of Montreal

In May 2011, of Montreal was riding high on the waves of their album 'False Priest,' which had been released the previous year. This eclectic record showcased a blend of funk, pop, and rock, pushing their signature theatrical style to new heights. The performance of 'Gronlandic Edit' at Primavera Sound is a great snapshot of the band's energy during this period, capturing their vibrant live presence that fans adore. This was also a time of experimentation for the group, where Kevin Barnes, the mastermind behind of Montreal, embraced bold themes of identity and self-exploration in both their music and visual presentation. Fun fact: 'False Priest' was notable not just for its catchy tunes, but also for its collaborators, including Janelle Monáe, making for an even richer musical landscape that set the stage for their live performances.
