of Montreal

In 2012, Of Montreal was riding high on the wave created by their vibrant album "Paralytic Stalks," released just a few months earlier in February. Known for its experimental sound, the album featured a blend of psychedelic rock and captivating lyrics that delved into themes of mental health and self-awareness. By the time they took to the stage at Circolo degli Artisti in Rome, the band was really solidifying their reputation for energetic and whimsical live performances, which often included elaborate costumes and theatrical flair. Interestingly, by incorporating both personal and universal themes in their songs, they had developed a unique connection with audiences that extended beyond just music—it was an experience. This live recording, capturing the essence of their spirit and artistic vision, is a reflection of a band that was truly in its creative prime.
