Skeletal Lamping

of Montreal

A hyper-kinetic collage of glam-funk and fragmented art-pop. Dense, disorienting, and deeply neurotic songs that shift gears every thirty seconds.

October 7, 2008 · Polyvinyl Record Company

Find on Amazon

A restless, hyper-kinetic exploration of identity that oscillates between euphoric dance-funk and harrowing psychological vulnerability.

The production is pushed notably harder into maximalist than this artist usually allows.
