This newest, umpteenth release by Of Montreal has them mining the same vein of gold that has made them what they are, but with a new twist – added to their fractured pop is a backbone of, well…disco beats would be how I might best describe them. Seriously, I think you could throw a number of tracks from this album on at a dance club and there’s a good chance some booties would be shaking from the grooves packed into this album. In addition to the main disc, there is a “bonus” CD with four additional songs, although it is unclear why they didn’t just include these songs on the other disc and make it a single CD to keep up with (maybe that’s why I’m not in charge of such decisions). Good stuff all around, and not a bad place to start if you are interested in discovering the world of screwball/Elephant 6 pop that Of Montreal holds reign over.
