Of MontrealOf Montreal: The Sunlandic Twins - The Track & Field Organization /Cargo :: This is less annoying than I remember of Montreal seeming other times I've listened to them. At times it sounds like an excellent 1950s garage rock band until the synthesizers kick in... Others it sounds like a disco-era B-side, and still others it sounds like the backgroung music for a McDonalds commercial. The lyrics seem fairly interesting and original, from what I can discern and the production is an original and excellent fit. Most people who like indie-pop already know that of Montreal are a hallmark of the genre, so if you're into ambitious, catchy and creative song structure and a guy singing in a nasal voice over upbeat synthesizer parts, this is probably a good bet. This is by far their best material that I've heard, but I feel like it's too late for me to really get into something like this.Of Montreal: The Sunlandic Twins
