of Montreal

For folks who feel invested in what the zany Athens, GA, outfit has been doing for the past decade and a half, of Montreal’s disorderliness seems inseparable from its off-kilter charm. You get into it precisely because you think music needs more sprawl, more complexity, more "more." Luckily, Kevin Barnes and company have a new album, Aureate Gloom, due out this March, which recalls the mid-to-late '70s music scene in New York, a la Talking Heads. The band hits the road again with a trippy multimedia spectacle; catch them at this Spaceland- and KCRW-presented show at the newly revived Regent Theater.
