Of Montreal live performance of The Past Is A Grotesque Animal at Festival NRMAL in Mexico City

Venue: Deportivo Lomas Altas Location: Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico Date: March 3, 2018

Before the live recording of 'The Past Is A Grotesque Animal' on March 3, 2018, Of Montreal had just released their album 'White Is Relic/Irrealis Mood' in 2018. This record continues the band’s tradition of experimentations, mixing genres and rich lyrical storytelling. The live performance in Mexico City showcases their vibrant energy and eclectic sound, hallmarks of their signature style. Interestingly, this particular song, a fan favorite, highlights lead singer Kevin Barnes' penchant for deeply personal lyrics blended with danceable instrumentals—an intriguing juxtaposition that draws listeners in. During this period, Of Montreal was solidifying their place in the indie music scene while continuing to evolve artistically, demonstrating the unique blend of theatricality and funk that they are known for.
