“F” is for Fugitive Air, Of Montreal at Gorilla


Of Montreal are from Athens, Georgia and play live in Manchester at Gorilla tonight

Fugitive Air is a favourite track of mine from Of Montreal, and their 2010 album False Priest (red album cover above) is pretty good too. The artwork for their albums is very intense and trippy-and 12 inch vinyl versions of the albums (do they exist?) would be worth buying to frame as art.

With 12 albums recorded since the late 1990s- the most recent being 2013’s Lousy with Sylvianbriar -the prolific band who are hard to define are worth checking out. Rock, psychedelia, afro-beat, folk, funk?... See their YouTube channel.


Taking part in ABC Wednesday.
