Of Montreal
Category: of montreal Artist
Of Montreal were among the second wave of groups to emerge from the Elephant Six Collective. The group is typical of many Elephant Six bands due to its interests in combining musical experimentation and the basic tenets of pop.
The Band was created by *Kevin Barnes* after a failed romance with a woman from Montreal. The band is based in Athens, Georgia, USA and the members are *Jamey Huggins*, *Matt Dawson*, *Bryan Poole*, *Dottie Alexander* and Kevin Barnes.
The band’s style has been influenced by not only more conventional *indie pop* and *neo-psychedelia*, but, on their earlier releases, vaudeville and music hall, before moving on to a style that was far more influenced by electronica on their most recent albums.
