of Montreal

In March 2022, of Montreal was riding high on their unique blend of indie pop and psychedelic sounds, having just released their album 'I'm OK, You're OK' a year prior in 2021. This fresh material likely seeped into their live performance at Respectable Street in West Palm Beach, where they showcased their signature theatrical flair. Known for their vibrant stage presence and elaborate costumes, Kevin Barnes and the band continued to evolve their sound, marrying introspective lyrics with catchy melodies. It's interesting to note that the band's eclectic style was deeply influenced by the lo-fi aesthetic popularized in the early '00s, which has become a hallmark of their identity. This live recording not only captures the energy of the performance but also encapsulates of Montreal's growth as artists, blending the old with the new in a way that's both nostalgic and fresh. It's as if they invite the audience into a whimsical world of their making, where every note tells a story.
