of Montreal

In March 2012, Of Montreal performed at Freebird Live in Jacksonville Beach, showcasing their vibrant, eclectic style that's characterized by theatrical visuals and catchy melodies. This live recording came shortly after the release of their album "Paralytic Stalks," which had debuted just weeks earlier in February 2012. This album marked a notable shift for the band, diving deeper into themes of personal struggle and existential reflection, all wrapped in their signature playful sound. Interestingly, during this period, lead singer Kevin Barnes was experimenting with new musical directions, pushing boundaries in a way that resonated in their live performances. You can feel that energy in the performance, as the band brings the intricate layers of their studio work to life on stage, making it a truly memorable experience for attendees.
