Of Montreal in the studio!!!

Hello, my name is Ramash and I an intern working at the studio where Kevin Barnes is recording the upcoming Of Montreal album, False Priest. I had a chance to chat with him yesterday (as I am a huge fan!) and he gave me some details of the album, even showing me a bit of concept album artwork!
  • The album will be alternatively titled 5alse.9riest. He did not elaborate on what this was a reference to. Perhaps an inside joke? Or maybe it's just a styling he is interested in? Perhaps when we get a tracklist, it will make more sense.
  • He expects to have the album ready for mixing/mastering by November.
  • He will not be the only one in the studio this time around; most of the band will be recording certain parts of the album
  • He didn't get too deep into the concept of the album, but he said the beginning of the album will deal with the death of Georgie Fruit and the awakening of a new persona. Perhaps Kevin wants to take the live show in a new direction? This is very exciting!
He also gave me a sample of the artwork, which I happened to save on my flash drive. He told me he didn't mind if I post it online, he appreciates the hype :D
This is not final! Stick around, I'll keep you posted!
