For a decade, Of Montreal have been one of the most prolific bands on the Athens, Georgia, indie scene. Their eighth LP is a wonky thing that ranges from Kinks-y rock to New Wave to disco, with dashes of the whimsical psychedelia that typically infuses the band's sound. Over bright guitar-and-keyboard arrangements that occasionally run amok, mastermind Kevin Barnes drops ace tunes and sometimes crams several good melodies into the same cut: "Labyrinthian Pomp" strings together falsetto call-and-response, a sexy bridge and a dark coda in barely three minutes. In short: An intermittently pleasurable record from a talented songwriter with an overstuffed brain.
