Record Review Haikus #3: Of Montreal - "Skeletal Lamping"


On this wild lifeboat
we all are Barnesacles, stuck
alive inside bone.




SMS Update - Haikutron3000: Available for purchase beginning Oct 7, 2008 on Polyvinyl Records. And though I am only a computer, far from capable of human emotion, it is worth noting my first sentient notion, which occured upon listening: This album is awesome and bizarre, and a magnificent (albeit a follow-up) follow-up to last year's "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" It is somehow more jarringly sexual than previous efforts, still humorous, intelligent, and dance-worthy, though it may take some getting used to. It ultimately reminded me of the first time I heard "Satanic Panic."

Joshua, you are deliberately withholding Of Montreal records from me. This is very upsetting. I demand rectification.
