Listen: of Montreal – “fugitive air”

Lousy With Sylvianbriar

of Montreal will back later this year with their new album, lousy with sylvianbriar, as we reported a few months back (albeit without knowledge of the lower case-ness of the album title and it’s tracklisting, which you can find below). You can now partake in the opening track to the album: “fugitive air” is something unexpected from a band who keep serving up the unexpected. It’s…relatively normal. A guitar led jangle where Kevin Barnes goes no further than distorting his voice a little. Could this be a return to Satanic Panic in the Attic-like material? Listen below and make up your own mind.

lousy with sylvianbrair will be released October 8th via Polyvinyl and Joyful Noise Recordings. The latter will release a limited 250 run of cassettes while Polyvinyl will release the album in all the other usual album formats including 1500 clear green vinyl (other pressings will be pink).
