Of Montreal – Innocence Reaches

Sassy and regulated like a robot that runs on jalapeños. Of Montreal’s Innocence Reaches hits the beats with the timing of a metronome and slides from social injustices to satire without altering the speed or the tone of those oh so regulated words.

Listeners will go deeper down the rabbit hole without even knowing it, enjoying that sweet and slightly confusing mix of calm and upheaval. Past revelers in the controlled climate created by Of Montreal will know what they are in for and they will fall all the quicker into the rabbit hole. You find the best though least explainable things in this realm of mental underground creatures.

The head of any listener may be moving slightly, the limbs may be almost still, but inside the brain where the music finds its mark, there are unknown things moving about, new fraternisation, new ideas. (SP)
