If The Smiths and a glam David Bowie decided to collaborate (or somehow make a baby) it would probably sound and look a lot like Of Montreal. Like Moz, Kevin Barnes pens depressingly honest lyrics but they also sit alongside songs about playful, imaginative dreamlands much like Bowie’s songs. Plus, let’s not forget that Barnes and the gang basically owe everything to Bowie when it comes to their theatrical live shows which can be summed up in four words: bright colors and nudity. If you haven’t gotten the chance to see Of Montreal in action you can catch them in the fall. Click read more for dates and a “kinky” video.
