According to an interview with of Montreal leader Kevin Barnes on Stereogum, Solange is set to guest on the next of Montreal album, which will possibly be titled False Priest or The Controller Sphere. Futuristic R&B siren Janelle Monae is also lined up for the album, and Jon Brion might do some sonic polishing as well. The sound of the album is said to have a Parliament-style, 70s-funk vibe (Stereogum has an in-studio snippet of a new track with a hook that goes "your pussy is a star.")
This isn't a total surprise. Last month, Solange's big sister Beyoncé told the UK's Guardian, "My sister [Solange] has put me on to bands like of Montreal. I would love to do something like that on my next album." Commenting on the proposition, Barnes told Stereogum, "When I heard that she said that, I thought, 'Oh, I should try to get something going.' I started writing this song, and then next thing I know, it's so weird that she would never in a million years listen to it, let alone record it!" Then again, he did get Solange to sing on his record, so who knows? Think big, dude!

Lately, there's been excited about the news that the next of Montreal album, possibly titled False Priest or The Controller Sphere, will feature guest vocals from R&B freaks Solange and Janelle Monae. (Solange recently Tweeted that Kevin Barnes had her sing the line, "you look like a play ground to me playa.")
As speculation about that album grows, of Montreal continue to bring it on stage. Nobody in indie rock has a live show anywhere near as theatrically over-the-top as these guys, so we're happy to report that they'll head out on a quick East Coast road trip later this month.
James Husband, otherwise known as of Montreal guitarist James Huggins III, will open all the shows. After the tour ends, he'll also play a few solo shows of his own.

Concert Review: Of Montreal at the Fillmore Miami Beach, April 9
Concert Pics: http://www.miaminewtimes.com/slideshow/of-montreal-at-the-fillmore-miami-beach-29654843/
Of Montreal took over the stage at the Filmore on Saturday, putting on a whimsical and musically captivating performance. Opening with "For Our Elegant Castle," Kevin Barnes clad in what appeared to be Never Nude-approved cut-off shorts, took command of the slightly empty theater. As an avid fan I was eager to see what they had in store for the night. However the stage seemed somewhat empty, lacking props and the usual decoration I have come to expect from such a theatrical band.
Musically I was, however, impressed with the new direction they showed. Moving away from their psychedelic-fantastical sound of past albums, and toward a heavier use of guitar. Barnes not only wailed in his high-pitched voice, however this time it was placed over a rock background with only hints of their quirky sound. As a long time listener I felt this was a great sign of coming changes in future albums. The older songs they did play, such as "Lysergic Bliss," were explosive and exciting. The set list however over all was broken up with inconsistent tempos, packed with newer material, and honestly, they did not play any of my favorite songs.
As the night wore one I began to look around and realize that I felt entirely out of place, and yet I have counted them in my top three favorite bands for more than half a decade. But as I realized I was surrounded by high schoolers who dressed better than me, guys who looked like they lived at the gym, and Marilyn Manson lookalikes, I thought about how much they band had changed just since their last show in South Florida. I also pondered if this would be the last time I would actually want to see them.
Trying to redirect my energy and just enjoy the show, I turned my attention to the ever-changing stage show for which Of Montreal is so popular. Kevin Barnes seemed to act a narrator to a symbolic play happening on stage. Naked women and men eating apples out of each other's hands, while a cartoon of a cock (rooster) and a priest flashed on the projection screen. Barnes danced around like an androgynous indie diva, while a man who wore a penis cover that made him look like a Ken-doll stood in front of a floral projection. Over all, I was more impressed when he came naked out of shaving cream at Langerado 2008. But this show was a very visual and venue appropriate -- it is a theater after all.
The closed the show with a cover of "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5, which to be blunt, sucked. I left the show feeling disillusioned and old.
Critic's Notebook
Personal Bias: I have seen Of Montreal more than four times, and own every single album, so I guess I could be referred to as a "super fan."
Random Detail: Most people at the show were wearing shoes that look like they were made in 1900. Ugly.
By the Way: Poplife's Aramis Lorie DJed after the opener, and he was better than James Husband by a long shot.
