Daily Download: "So Begins Our Alabee," Of Montreal

A selection of album titles by Of Montreal will, I think, give a more precise picture of the band's distinctive aesthetic than anything I could write: "The Bird Who Continues to Eat the Rabbit's Flower," "The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy," "Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies," "Archibald of the Balding Sparrows," "Aldhils Arboretum," "Satanic Panic in the Attic" and most recently "The Sunlandic Twins." If you like music that is hyperactive, overstuffed, cute, witty, baroquely ornate and often entirely absurd then this band is for you. ("So Begins Our Alabee" is from "The Sunlandic Twins" and so is "The Party's Crashing Us," available for download here. There's also "Disconnect the Dots," from last year's "Satanic Panic in the Attic," a better song than either of these new ones.) If not, run.
