Who the hell else can get away with leaping out of a coffin full of shaving cream, being escorted on stage in a golden prison carried by a pack of buddahs, singing in the midst of a self-executed hanging, and meanwhile never losing a beat skipping amongst children, ninjas, soldiers and creepy animal people?

Here’s some more reading material for you (thanks to illuminated and I Rule the School):

Brainlove mets Kevin Barnes

“I think it’s just as autobiographical. I mean, Hissing Fauna was like pain. And pain is the great equalizer. Everyone can appreciate pain, confusion, anxiety… these things are universal and easily relatable. But when you talk about more abstract things… Skeletal Lamping is definitely more abstract. I don’t think it’s less emotional or less autobiographical.”

“I’m always sort of experimenting with arrangements and song structure but, on this one, I wanted to take it even further. Most people just take a section or a verse and repeat it, for no real reason other than that’s what you do: you repeat the verse, you repeat the chorus, you might change the lyrics slightly here. There’s just so much laziness. And I wanted to be as creative as possible, to fill every second with new inspiration.”

of Montreal recently taped a performance at the Current studios for Minnesota Public Radio. Songs include “Triphallus, to Punctuate!”, “Touched Something’s Hollow,” and “An Eluardian Instance.” You can stream the performance here.
