***OF MONTREAL’s critical breakthrough Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? catapulted the band to the upper echelon of indie stardom. The album landed on over 30 major year-end lists including Paste, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and Associated Press, and sold over 100,000 copies. False Priest, of Montreal’s newest full-length, promises to surpass such lofty benchmarks. Teaming up with Grammy-nominated producer JON BRION (Kanye West, Fiona Apple), of Montreal’s mastermind KEVIN BARNES traveled to famed Ocean Way Recording (Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra) to record False Priest, his self-professed masterpiece. As discussed in features in Rolling Stone, SPIN, Under the Radar and Pitchfork, False Priest is speaker-rattling heavy on the low end and features appearances by JANELLE MONAE and SOLANGE KNOWLES (Beyoncé’s sister). The album also marks the return of organic instruments as live drums, strings and pianos eschew the midi sounds and sequencers of previous albums. The album features intricate packaging—a 20-page booklet of new paintings from DAVID BARNES and GEMINI TACTICS. Of Montreal’s False Priest is one of fall’s most anticipated albums.
