of Montreal

Before the live recording at the Urban Lounge on November 4, 2013, Of Montreal had just released their album 'Lousy with Sylvianbriar', which came out earlier that same year. This album marked a return to a more lo-fi sound, showcasing a shift from their prior pop-oriented work. Notably, 'Raindrop in My Skull' stands out as one of the more eclectic tracks, blending whimsical lyrics with intricate melodies. During this period, the band's frontman, Kevin Barnes, was delving deep into themes of longing and introspection, and you can feel that energy radiating throughout the performance captured in this video. Also interesting is the organic, intimate atmosphere of the Urban Lounge, which contrasts with the often grander settings they had played in prior years; it really showcases their versatility as a live act.
