of Montreal

In April 2017, during the live performance of 'Stag to the Stable' at The Paper Tiger in San Antonio, of Montreal was riding high on the creative wave from their album 'Innocence Reaches,' which was released a year earlier in 2016. Known for their eclectic style, the album showcased a blend of indie pop and psychedelic elements, capturing the band's signature whimsical essence and lyrical depth. An interesting tidbit is that Kevin Barnes, the band's frontman, often explores themes of identity and self-perception, something that resonates deeply in their live shows. At this point in their career, of Montreal had already solidified their reputation for visually stunning performances, making each live set not just a concert but an immersive experience. This particular show also came amid a tour that emphasized their willingness to experiment and connect with their audience on a deeper level, embodying the spirit of indie music.
