Description

During the last two decades, the creative force from Montreal, Kevin Barnes, has amazed fans with his vast catalog of fascinating and enchanting pop performances. Barnes' writing and production aesthetic has since become emblematic in the industry and has been critically acclaimed in publications such as Rolling Stone, The New York Times, NPR, and Pitchfork, which described the band's album, Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? as "endlessly fascinating and inexhaustibly replayable," while ranking it as the number 5 album of the year. Barnes' influence on pop music is undeniable, with multiple late-night television appearances, including The Late Show With David Letterman and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, as well as brilliant collaborations with Solange, Janelle Monáe, Jon Brion, and others. The band has also performed worldwide, with appearances at countless festivals.
On Of Montréal's latest album, Freewave Lucifer f<ck f^ck f>ck, Barnes continues to push the boundaries of what pop music can be. On songs like "Marijuana's A Working Woman," Barnes revisits themes of psychedelia using pulsing synths over their immediately recognizable bass play. The album also addresses aspects of gender fluidity and is a fascinating look at what makes Barnes one of the most prolific and creative songwriters in today's music.
