DOWNLOAD: Amplive – Of Montreal vs MGMT (MP3)

Divorce and mental illness are not often hallmarks of danceable indie rock records, but they played a big part on Of Montreal’s critically acclaimed 2007 release, “Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?”

On “Skeletal Lamping,” due Oct. 7 via Polyvinyl, “I’ve tried to incorporate more tension and dissonance, while still maintaining a super poppy sound,” group leader Kevin Barnes tells Billboard. “I think the album is more bipolar than schizophrenic, though. I guess it represents its author more closely in that way.” [BILLBOARD]
