Ever since their inception 14 years ago, of Montreal have provided a consistent stream of artistically ground-breaking yet remarkably accessible records. Few modern bands have demonstrated such a keen ability to evolve alongside artistic relevancy.
From the lo-fi 1997 debut "Cherry Peel", to the breakthrough "Sunlandic Twins" to 2007's classic "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" - contained within this box set is the full breadth of the band's ever-evolving sound.
Limited to just 500 hand-numbered copies, the Cassette Box Set collection is housed in a custom-built wooden box, screen-printed with original artwork from David Barnes. Each of the 10 cassettes are individually wrapped, including the original album art. Purchase includes an instant MP3 download of the band's 10 full-length albums.
"Ceaselessly fascinating and inexhaustibly replayable." Pitchfork
"No one could've predicted 13 years ago that this Athens, Georgia-based geek would break from the lo-fi, '60s-obsessed Elephant 6 aesthetic and strap on a glammy persona featuring falsetto Prince squeals, Bowie-esque thespian bellowing, and a freakily theatrical stage show rivaled only by Lady Gaga and the Flaming Lips." Spin
"...another solid turn around the technicolor dance floor." Under The Radar
"It's vastly easier to make sense of his latest batch of ecstatic glam/funk/bubblegum fantasies, thanks in large part to co-producer Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Kanye West). On False Priest, Brion reins in Barnes' hyperactive tendencies and cleans up his sound mix, bringing just enough sanity to make his mad experiments succeed." Entertainment Weekly
"Kevin Barnes - indie rock's most elfin cross dresser- is back with this pulsating slab of glammy awesomeness, which erupts into a classically inspired synth-gasm that screams out for one of those lightning-globe things they sell at the sharper image." Rolling Stone
