of Montreal

In November 2013, Of Montreal was riding high on the wave of their latest album, 'Lousy with Sylvanbriar,' which had dropped just earlier that year. This album showcased a slight shift in their sound, embracing a more organic vibe, a stark contrast to their earlier, more flamboyant synth-pop style. During their live performance of 'She Ain't Speakin' Now' at Largo in Los Angeles, the band delivered a vibrant and theatrical experience, embodying their eclectic style. Interestingly, the group had been active for over 17 years by this point, constantly evolving their musical identity. Frontman Kevin Barnes has often described their work as a reflection of his personal journey, making each song feel like a chapter in an ongoing story. The show at KCRW was a testament to their artistic innovation, celebrating their ability to surprise fans with fresh sounds while maintaining their distinctive charm.
