of Montreal have introduced a brand new album, Girl On The Cusp, the follow-up to 2022’s Freewave Lucifer f<ck f^ck f>ck. It’s notably the final album that Kevin Barnes made in his longtime residence base of Athens, GA — he’s since moved to southern Vermont after almost three a long time within the metropolis. At this time, Barnes is sharing the album’s lead single “Yung Hearts Bleed Free.”
“Influenced by the Leos Carax movie Boy Meets Lady, Bootsy’s Rubber Band, and my latest buy of a Yamaha TG33 and a Kawai K1M,” Barnes shared of the monitor. “I wished to make a strutting, horny little vamp of a music that simply sort of chugged alongside and felt relaxed and playful and free.”
It comes with a music video directed by Madeline Babuka Black, whose title you would possibly acknowledged from Yucky Duster or extra just lately Le Ache. “There’s a sure 60’s/ experimental spirit to Barnes’ songwriting that I really like and through the use of analog strategies of paper minimize out and direct on movie animation I pay homage to that,” the director shared. “The paper minimize out animations and colour palette of the movie had been deeply impressed by Larry Jordan’s experimental animations, most notably his 1968 movie Our Girl of the Sphere.”
