██ AMG Review : ██
██ During the closing moments of 2007's Hissing Fauna, Are ██
██ You The Destroyer?, bandleader Kevin Barnes introduced ██
██ his alter ego, an effeminate singer by the name of ██
██ Georgie Fruit. One year later, that character runs amok ██
██ on Skeletal Lamping, having wrenched the spotlight away ██
██ from Barnes' sugary pop and trained it on an ambitious ██
██ hybrid of glam rock, experimental R&B, and Scissor ██
██ Sisters-styled sex-funk. Barnes sounds truly uninhibited ██
██ under the Fruit guise, making declarations like "I'm just ██
██ a black she-male!" with flamboyant confidence. Such a ██
██ shift in direction marks Of Montreal's ascent into the ██
██ psychedelic clouds where Ziggy Stardust once flew -- only ██
██ this time, the listener catches a ride on the back of a ██
██ transgendered Prince fanatic whose songs are fragmented ██
██ and confusing, yet still peppered with irresistible ██
██ hooks. ██
██ ██
██ Like the album's cover art (an origami-influenced ██
██ billfold whose flaps unfurl to form a giant floral ██
██ display), Skeletal Lamping demands attention by being ██
██ purposely puzzling. The music is extravagant and ██
██ elaborate; each song is comprised of multiple vignettes, ██
██ many of them completely different in style, and each ██
██ track spills into the next. It's interesting to watch the ██
██ pieces fit together -- to pinpoint the exact second where ██
██ one song ends and another one begins -- but that's ██
██ tantamount to looking at the adjacent parts of puzzle ██
██ pieces without standing back to witness the full picture. ██
██ So while Skeletal Lamping sounds impressive as it ██
██ unfolds, what ultimately takes shape is a somewhat ██
██ erratic album, filled with quick flashes of pop melody ██
██ but mostly devoid of truly realized songs (although ██
██ several tracks, particularly the buoyant "An Eluardian ██
██ Instance", do come close). Whether or not one enjoys ██
██ Skeletal Lamping depends on the listener's tolerance for ██
██ unchecked ambition and left-field experimentation, both ██
██ of which are emphasized here to the songs' detriment. Of ██
██ Montreal have rarely sounded so free, so unrestrained, ██
██ but Kevin Barnes has also never flaunted lyrics like "I'm ██
██ so sick of sucking the dick of this cruel, cruel city" ██
██ and "I want you to be my pleasure-puss, I want to know ██
██ what it's like to be inside you, I wanna give you that ██
██ oooh la!" This is a love-it-or-lump-it album, a ██
██ polarizing effort that -- depending on personal ██
██ preference -- is either irresistibly attractive or overly ██
██ pretentious. ██
