of Montreal has just shared the third single from its upcoming album lousy with sylvianbriar. With its crisp guitar tones, galloping pace, and another hard-hitting vocal performance from frontman Kevin Barnes, "belle glade missionaries" doesn't at all pull back from the badass 60's rebel rock esthetic of previous singles "fugitive air" and "she ain't speakin' now." Enjoy!
lousy with sylvianbriar is due out October 8 via Polyvinyl.
After last month's "fugitive air," of Montreal is back with the second single from its upcoming album lousy with sylvianbriar, "she ain't speakin' now." The track is a tumultuous piece of 60's psych rock, featuring a tour de force vocal performance from front man Kevin Barnes. Barnes claims to have written the song while his wife and daughter were bedridden with a terrible illness, so the lyrics are appropriately worrisome for their well-being; but at the same time, he is worried that he might catch what they have, so an amusing element of rational self-interest also comes through.
