of Montreal je američki indie pop / psychedelic pop projekt koji predvodi autor i multiinstrumentalist Kevin Barnes. Bend djeluje gotovo tri desetljeća, a kroz dvadeset studijskih albuma razvio je prepoznatljiv spoj glam rocka, psihodelije, funka i synth-pop senzibiliteta, uz izrazito osobne tekstove i teatralne koncertne nastupe. Među njihovim najpoznatijim izdanjima ističe se Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, a tijekom godina surađivali su sa Solange, Janelle Monáe i Jonom Brionom te nastupali na festivalima poput Coachelle, Primavere, Lollapalooze i Vive Latina.

Novi album aethermead objavljen je 5. lipnja za Polyvinyl Record Co. i njihov je jubilarni 20. studijski album. Ploča se bavi prekidom, frustracijom, željom, iscjeljenjem i osobnim ponovnim početkom, nastavljajući Barnesovu dugogodišnju praksu pretvaranja intimnih iskustava u nekonvencionalan pop.

of Montreal će svoj novi album ove godine u Europi uživo predstaviti jedino na Planet Domu.
