of Montreal

In March 2016, during the vibrant phase of their career, of Montreal was touring in support of their album 'Aureate Gloom,' which had been released just a year earlier. This album marked a moment of introspection and creativity for the band, showcasing a more personal and darker side of their music compared to their earlier work. The live recording at The Moon in Tallahassee captures the essence of their unique live performances, filled with theatricality and energy that reflects their eclectic style. Interestingly, frontman Kevin Barnes often explores themes of identity and emotional struggle in his lyrics, which resonate strongly in songs from this period. Fans tuned in to this performance likely found a blend of new material alongside some beloved classics, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is quintessentially of Montreal.
