Of Montreal Live Performance of Let's Relate from Thirty One West
Before the live recording of Of Montreal's performance on September 12, 2017, they had released their album 'Innocence Reaches' in 2016, which marked a significant turn in their sound—bringing in more synth-pop elements and a whimsical, alternative approach. By the time of this concert, the band was enjoying a creative resurgence, characterized by their vibrant live performances and eclectic stage presence. Interestingly, frontman Kevin Barnes often draws inspiration from various art forms, merging them into their dynamic shows. In 2017, they were also celebrating their unique, genre-defying style, reflecting the evolution of their music journey, blending various influences that made their live sets both intriguing and memorable. The Newark concert captured this phase brilliantly, showcasing their artistic vision and connection with the audience.
