CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Hailing from Athens, Of Montreal have carved their own niche in the indie-pop world, establishing themselves as a uniquely twisted band that thrills fans with compelling live performances, delights critics with their constant innovations and refinements, and continually showcases their musical evolution that culls together influences as varied as Brian Eno, Television, Prince, and The Shins. "The Sunlandic Twins" is their most cohesive and adventurous record to date. It plays out like an electro pop opera. Beginning buoyant and opalescent, traversing a labyrinthine Neptune, and climaxing in blackout darkness one only discovers in warm solitude. Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsExperimental art prioritizing good songs Cornelius | Berkeley, CA USA | 02/05/2010 (2 out of 5 stars) "I was turned onto Of Montreal from a friend of mine who's way into them. My intrigue led me to purchase this album partly do to the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Take one part melodies from the Beatles, Seals and Crofts, and jarring dash of Bill Bruford, add seven parts meandering electronic backdrop for said melodies, top it all off with an absolute aversion to forming a coherent song, and you have Of Montreal's "The Sunlandic Twins". There's an abundance of creepy low budget circus like synth sounds -- flutes, strings, organs, etc. -- and almost every song has annoying overly dramatic choral like "oh's" throughout. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy then please check this album out. I clearly couldn't get into it."
