Of Montreal

Known as one of the more unpredictable acts of the its generation, the indie rock band of Montreal began as a psychedelic pop band in 1996 and has since evolved its sound into a neo-psychedelic mixture of funk, dance-punk, glam, electronica and afrobeat. Hailing from Athens, GA the band released its debut album Cherry Peel, in 1997 and with its next few subsequent albums, claimed a spot in the heart of the independent music scene despite never really receiving any mainstream success. A part of the Elephant 6 record company and music collective, the band is among the ranks of other indie darlings with its ability to marry several different musical styles with standard elements of pop music.
