Indie-rock mainstays of Montreal have officially announced the release date (October 8th) of their 12th studio album, Lousy with Sylvianbriar. As has been previously reported, frontman Kevin Barnes was influenced by groovy ’60s rock bands like The Grateful Dead, as well as the brooding poetry of Sylvia Plath. The album was composed during a self-imposed “isolation experiment” in San Francisco and recorded in Atlanta with the assistance of engineer Drew Vandenberg.
They’ve also released the album’s first single, the punchy, slide-guitar-driven “Fugitive Air.” Check it out below.
