Of Montreal: 'Raindrop In My Skull,' Live On Soundcheck
Hear the entire session and interview: http://soundcheck.wnyc.org/story/of-montreal-in-studio/ Since he founded the band over 15 years ago, Kevin Barnes has shaped Of Montreal into an exuberant indie pop powerhouse, incorporating psychedelia, funk, and electronic music into a quirky and distinctive brand of pop. But for the group's just-released 12th full-length album, Lousy With Sylvianbriar, Barnes turned to another influence: Late '60s and early '70s counterculture. The record drips of flower power pop sentiment while retaining all the idiosyncrasies that make Of Montreal a beloved indie mainstay.
