of Montreal, the beloved indie pop project led by Kevin Barnes, known for their eccentricity and boundless creativity, have shared a new song/video “Rude Girl on Rotation”.
It is a beautiful folk-inspired gem infused with the band’s signature sonic flair, and it serves as the second taster (after “Yung Hearts Bleed Free”) of Lady On The Cusp, the group’s upcoming new LP (set for release on May 17 via Polyvinyl Record Co). Accompanied by an official music video, it is a tantalizing glimpse of the musical brilliance that lies ahead.
Barnes shares the following about the single: “Rude Girl On Rotation was inspired, in part, by my impending move from Athens GA to our new home in Vermont. I used an open tuning on guitar that Nick Drake used a lot on his jammers. The bass line chugs along in a late 60’s West Coast rocker style, influenced by Canned Heat’s “Poor Moon”. I wanted the song to sound loose and under-produced. It took the least amount of time to record, of all the songs on the album. I hope you like it!”.
