On today's episode, I talk to musician Kevin Barnes of Of
Montreal. Originally from Ohio, Kevin eventually ended up in
Athens, GA where he became part of the Elephant 6 collective, a
group that included Apples in Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia
Tremor Control and many others. Kevin's music has transformed over
time, as his own aesthetic beliefs have changed. Starting off as a
Kinks/Paul McCartney-esque surreal indie pop group with albums on
Bar/None and Kindercore, morphing from there into electronic pop
and then dance pop, the entirety of the band's output given a
throughline by Kevin's psyche. Since 2004, Kevin has almost
exclusively released albums on Polyvinyl and his latest Freewave
Lucifer F<ck F^ck F>ck is out now!
