of Montreal, recently announced their new album Lady On The Cusp will drop on May 17 on Polyvinyl. To support the new album, Kevin Barnes’ final transmission from Athens, as they’re now delighted to be living among the snowy peaks and progressive politics of southern Vermont. The band has released new single “Rude Girl On Rotation” a folk-infused track with of Montreal’s unique sound. Arriving alongside an official video, the song expresses a feeling of being neutered by a neo-Puritanical culture while dreaming of being absorbed into the lush forests of Vermont and the socio-political possibilities that their new home holds.

From Kevin Barnes: “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!”
