Hailing from Athens, of Montreal have carved their own niche -- establishing themselves as a uniquely twisted band that thrills fans with
compelling live performances, delights critics with their constant innovations
and refinements, and continually showcases their musical evolution that culls
together influences as varied as Brian
Eno, Television and Prince.
The follow-up to of Montreal's breakthrough album, Satanic Panic in the Attic, The Sunlandic
Twins is one the band's most cohesive and adventurous records.
As of Montreal's principal songwriter Kevin Barnes puts it:
"The album plays out like an electro pop opera, although no lorgnette is
required. The Sunlandic Twins begins buoyant and opalescent,
traversing a labyrinthine Neptune, and
climaxing in a blackout darkness one only discovers in warm solitude."
|
|
"Feels like a surprise party that could make a broken-hearted birthday boy smile." Alternative Press
|
|
"The Sunlandic Twins ultimately seems to showcase what of Montreal is and always indeed has been capable of: making a great record." Athens Herald
|
|
"[Barnes'] songs are intoxicating pop nuggets, fueled by killer hooks and peppered with witty, winkling lyrics." Blender
|
|
"Brings the listener on yet another magic-carpet ride." Bust
|
|
"Yet another release packed to the gills with enough psychedelic charm to win over even the most diehard Sgt. Pepper look-alike." Chord
|
|
"Psych-pop for the dance floor." Under the Radar
|
|
"Kevin Barnes has delivered a magnificent pop masterpiece." Punk Planet
|
|
"It's a darker, more paranoid effort than their previous releases, but one that shimmers with wit and imagination." Austin Chronicle
|
|
"The Sunlandic Twins is filled with falsetto vocals, galloping bass lines, and enough pop sweetness to cause tooth decay." Maxim
|
|
"With its operatic choruses, inventive songwriting, and charming melodies, The Sunlandic Twins is of Montreal's most ambitious record to date." Venus
