of Montreal released UR FUN, the band’s 16th studio album, via Polyvinyl Records last month. of Montreal plays 9:30 Club on Monday, March 2, and you can win tickets to go with Parklife DC.
On UR FUN, of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes is more candid than ever, presenting 10 concise electro-pop songs that expose the depths of his current life, his private thoughts—both optimistic and brooding—and his passionate relationship with songwriter Christina Schneider of Locate S,1.
Recording alone and inspired by albums like Cyndi Lauper’s She’s So Unusual and Janet Jackson’s Control, Kevin set out to make UR FUN into the kind of album where every song could be a single, complete with huge hooky choruses and nostalgic dance grooves. The result is an unstoppably fun album that could also pass for a carefully sequenced greatest-hits collection if taken out of context.

I love of Montreal! I think my favorite song is “Wraith Pinned to the Mist”.
I’m too late for the giveaway, but I think “Suffer for Fashion” was the first song that got me liking Of Montreal.
