of Montreal - Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse Live Performance

Date: March 29, 2016

In March 2016, during the live recording of "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse," of Montreal was riding high on the waves of their album, "Aureate Gloom," which was released just a year prior in 2015. This record marked a significant moment for the band, showcasing a more introspective sound rooted in eclectic stylistic choices. The tour following this album had them performing with their signature flamboyance, merging visual art and music seamlessly. The performance in Tallahassee reflects the vibrant stage presence of lead vocalist Kevin Barnes, who often infuses personal narratives into the performance. An interesting tidbit: the track itself was a staple of their sets, exhibiting themes of love and existential reflection, connecting deeply with audiences. By this time, of Montreal had solidified their status not only as indie rock icons but also as innovators in live performance.
