Skeletal Lamping

After a decade's worth of often deeply experimental albums as the head of an ever-shifting group of musicians collectively known as Of Montreal, singer, songwriter and provocateur Jeremy Barnes had an unexpected mainstream hit with 2007's outstanding HISSING FAUNA, ARE YOU THE DESTROYER? As if to take full advantage from the band's higher profile, Polyvinyl Records has chosen a unique format in which to release Of Montreal's follow-up album, the typically idiosyncratic and neo-psychedelic SKELETAL LAMPING. In addition to the traditional CD and LP formats, SKELETAL LAMPING is also being released as a T-shirt, a tote bag, a set of badges, a paper hanging lantern, and a set of wall decals. The five non-standard forms all include a digital download code that gives the purchasers access to MP3s of the album's 15 tracks.
