Teaming up with Grammy-nominated producer Jon Brion (Kanye West, Fiona Apple), of Montreal's mastermind Kevin Barnes traveled to famed Ocean Way Recording (Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra) to record False Priest, his self-professed masterpiece. As discussed in features in Rolling Stone, SPIN, Under the Radar and Pitchfork, False Priest is speaker-rattling heavy on the low end and features appearances by Janelle Monae and Solange Knowles (Beyonce's sister). The album also marks the return of organic instruments -- with live drums, strings and pianos replacing the midi sounds and sequencers of previous albums.

The cassette edition of "False Priest" is limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. The artwork features a 10-panel booklet containing paintings and re-interpretations of paintings by David Barnes, Nina Barnes, and Kevin Barnes. The tape is pressed on a red cassette, matching the artwork. High-quality MP3s and FLAC audio are included.

Here are some images of the Cassette:

of Montreal Cassette 2

"...frontman Kevin Barnes is putting more flesh on his fantasies, camping up a Prince falsetto over psychedelic soul and new wave disco."
Rolling Stone

"Genius at work."
Q

"...one of the most compelling and rewarding records you'll hear this year."
NPR

"False Priest is a blur of swings and roundabouts, the sheer ambition of its crazed vision propelling it through any lull."
Mojo

"Dripping with libido and pristine production, False Priest follows Kevin Barnes as he sows his oats from a variety of angles, some of them new, and with multiple partners to boot."
Filter

"False Priest is a phenomenal accomplishment for Of Montreal."
Obscure Sound

"Each listen seems to peel back another layer or reveal a delightful little touch we missed on the listen just before, allowing us to listen to the album over and over again with growing enthusiasm. We may just have a modern classic on our hands here."
Chicagoist

"The upgrade is immediately apparent on "Coquet Coquette": the surf guitars ring bright, the drum rolls crash with added force, and the funk bass is impeccable."
Spin
