Celebrated for their unique and prolific output, frontperson and primary songwriter \/ multi-instrumentalist Kevin Barnes recorded the album at Brooklyn's Honey Jar studios with audio engineer, Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, Toro y Moi), with basic tracking done live to a 16-track tape machine with Barnes' longtime live band. \"I wanted to capture a quick moment together and to make on-the-fly, spontaneous creative decisions,\" says Barnes. \"It felt very liberating and exhilarating to have to start and finish an album in a month's time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result shimmers with indie pop elements of their 2004 release, \u003cem\u003eSatanic Panic in the Attic\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as the raw, live energy of 2013's \u003cem\u003eLousy With Sylvianbriar\u003c\/em\u003e. Inspired partly from a recent move to Brooklyn, NY and a yearning for community, the album marks a shift in Barnes' daily routines, with the album's title referencing a section of Prospect Park called the Nethermead, where Barnes walks their dog every day. \"I started a meditation practice soon after moving to help me self-regulate,\" says Barnes. \"I began to imagine I was sending all my destructive and useless thoughts\/energies into the ether.\" Barnes' beautiful and melodic chord progressions are on full display with tracks like \"Already Dreaming,\" as well as the straight-up rock \u0026amp; roll banger \"Take The Form.\" Other highlights include the loungey \"My Zhe Zhe,\" as well as the bluntly sexual lead single, \"When.\" From the breakthrough brilliance of 2007's \u003cem\u003eHissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?\u003c\/em\u003e to a steady run of boundary-pushing releases, Of Montreal have remained fearless sonic shapeshifters-equally at home crafting hook-laden anthems as they are exploring surreal, experimental textures. The band's prolific output has led to numerous late-night TV appearances-including The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon-and brilliant collaborations with artists such as Solange, Janelle Monáe, and Jon Brion. On stage, they transform concerts into immersive spectacles of color, costume, and cathartic energy. The band has performed across the globe, gracing festival stages at Coachella, Primavera, Lollapalooza, Vive Latino and beyond, while also amassing hundreds of millions of streams worldwide. With a new tour on the horizon, Of Montreal continue to celebrate their legacy while pushing boldly forward.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracks\u003cbr\u003e1 Already Dreaming\u003cbr\u003e2 Wanting on Air\u003cbr\u003e3 Listen to Music and Cry\u003cbr\u003e4 My Zhe Zhe\u003cbr\u003e5 Take the Form\u003cbr\u003e6 When\u003cbr\u003e7 Hack It Up\u003cbr\u003e8 Lacan in the Family\u003cbr\u003e9 Having a Moment\u003cbr\u003e10 From the Font of You\u003cbr\u003e11 To Nothing's Reward\u003cbr\u003e12 Now We Cringe at the Thought\u003cbr\u003e13 Dismissal Mosaics\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content\" id=\"aec-musictabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47951347155118,"sku":"644110053015","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/644110053015.jpg?v=1780696080","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/of-montreal-aethermead-ltd-ed-cloudy-vinyl","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
