As usual, after the second listen of a totally new sound from yet another album, I've come to adore this album already. You'd think after 14 albums, a band (well, ... A Kevin) would grow stale. He always keeps it fresh. Hoping for 14 more.

"Lets Relate" absolutely S L A P S. I actually haven't listened to Of Montreal in years. I listened a lot in high school, then stopped in 2014ish and haven't picked them back up until now. I am sad that I missed the release of this album, but I am happy I am listening to it now :D

Tracks like Let's Relate, A Sport and a Pasttime, Trashed Exes show me what really good production sounds like

So I just got introduced to this band by my new roommates. Holy shit!!! I'm in love with this band. Although my mistake was listening to "The Past is a Grotesque Animal" on 4 tabs for the first time lol. Also Kevin is super gorgeous 😳

Kevin you've done it again. One of the greatest songwriters--period!

Do kids even know how lucky they are to get a whole album for free to hear this high quality. Like, yay!

absolutely amazed by this album, im kind of sad i wasnt there for the release but im happy that i discovered them this year. definetely a woke group by its time, it seems like they were ahead of its time, just compliments and joy to give, congrats polyvinyl records for having the honor to record for them

Let’s relate live is magical. David gets so into it! ❤

Sorry Kevin Barnes this is a Masterpiece.

It's as if Kevin took influences from his old vocals and acoustic styles and upgraded them with new unique use of effects vocoder and synth. You can tell Kevin was really feeling this in the studio. :)

Polyvinyl Records is killing piracy. I buy your fantastic retro cd editions ☺

Of montreal never ever let's us down. With each one of their albums they manage to make something unique and familiar

thanks Kevin! I feel as if I'm sparring with the void trying to show you appreciation, love, or connection through this virtual medium in which i am a voiceless square photo from my own past [so unimaginable to yourself!} inspiration

Its different for girls will always hit the hardest for me. The lyrics and beat are just amazing. It basically perfectly describes what I go through and have had a shit ton of problems getting past in my life. The fact that a non-female got the lyrics so accurate is amazing

Through 2 listens faves are Sport, Ambassador, Chaos and Chap. Sure I'll be adding more. oM is for of Montreal, oM is for of Music.

Been waiting for this album and not disappointed, reminds me of false preist and skeletal lamping meshed. Though i kinda wish the songs would flow with each other like in past albums.

Of Montreal rocks!!!

Saw them last night. They were fantastic.

haters gonna hate? whether or not I enjoy myself is not the point of the creation. but, I love this

This is taking a while to grow on me, but that's usually the case. I miss the sound of Lousy and I think Aureate Gloom was a glorious expansion on that sound. I'm sure I just need to re-calibrate to this record and I look forward to doing so!

Best record label ever. Buying that vinyl to support you guys! Keep up the great work. Def Pacts is my jam.

Enjoyed them live in Northampton, MA. Best party all year period.

I am even more glad about this that there is a song named les chants du maldoror

LOVE LOVE LOVE this♥

I love you Kevin Barnes

I remember listening to this band for the first time and it was just so unique and catchy love this album can’t wait for more :)

The summer before highschool until I met the band that frozen night in which we waited 3 hours in the cold confirmed the stage presence breakdown, emotionally. Oh, poop. I love everything from all the early steps. Psychedlia goddess bless all

I just found a used copy. I didn't realize it was 45RPM. EXCELLENT release. I will be keeping an eye on future releases!!!

mind literally blown away with this album ahhhhhh so freakinguuuud

NOO i love this one!

Bravo! What a fantastic album! Stellar!

my muse❤

Seeing them Sunday ah yeah

Thank you God!

My Fair Lady is too fucking good

Anybody else hear Syd Barrett in the beginning of Chaos Arpeggiating?

yet another great album.

So good thank you Kevin

love the new album!

Always something different, and always something fucking brilliant!

of montreal can do no wrong

slay slay slay

First song reminds me of crystal castles

lol my fair lady those lyrics to real.. -.-

Remarkable. Remarkable lyrics. Remarkable performers. Remarkable songwriters. Remarkable artists. Remarkable humans. This group is one of the brightest most brilliant team of intelligence ever collectively gathered into one group of talented musicians. They are remarkable. They're even remarkable live because they're authentic through and through.

waiting on the return of kay kay and his weathered underground, and instead I get this

Is Kevin the new Bowie?

Not sure how I feel

nice

huauuuuuuuuuu Barnes...

Ahhh!!!!

boss record, Kevin.

My happiness and overall well-being increases every time I listen to this album. I listened to it on LSD, and it was like a mental fireworks show. I want to have romantic sex to a sport and a pastime. #grateful

why no "gratuitous abysses" upload? my opinion of this album has fluctuated to a dizzying degree, but i think i've settled on it being awesome.

7:52 when did of montreal become foxygen who became the rolling stones lol

It's interesting that every disco-influenced endeavor is hated by some fans, because that influence is part of what made Hissing Fauna one of their best albums ever. I'm glad to see them return to that influence somewhat here. Kevin seems to be at home in that, and makes some of his best songs. The Beatles-derived songs are always the most cliche and bland in my opinion, because look at the Beatles, they were literally a reduction of every other rock-and-roll, psychedelic, and hard-rock act out during that time, yet they get the credit. There were tech innovations in disco that we still use today in music, and people look down on disco so it's not appreciated. By the way, this album is great so far!!!

That cover art though

haters of this album be like "in my cracked kingdom, in my terror hive of brutal nostalgia, on some self-imposed house arrest of the mind that's useless, trying to numb the fear, the fear that deforms the negatives and makes all memories pathetic, so pathetic"

💜

It's okay.

Holy guacamole, finally a delightful album in this era of blackened white kids and folk traditional bullshit

Second half > first half Album is really bottom heavy.

lmc if you got the cassette

More Georgie Fruit-type monologues I thought we were past this. Good album though, great except for the lyrics.

The first track reminds me of Kraftwerk.

Half of these views = me

Not as good as Skeletal Lamping or Paralytic Stalks. Best songs are My Fair Lady, Def Pacts, Nursing Slopes, Trashed Exes, and Chap Pilot.

Totally better than the last one.

Too bad crystal castles had mastered this sound years before Kevin stole their ideas.

I guess im in the minority. Not a big fan of the change in sound on this record

lmaoooooooooooo is this fucking chilwave Wtf only on the first track so dont worry about replying to this

5/10

Oh man. I'm totally bummed. I'm so disappointed in this album. This is the first one in many years that I haven't liked. :-(

I was really taken off guard by how absolutely awful this is. What a twist, someone call Shyamalan

so this is what the hipster kids are listening to

I'm too into this.
