2016 is a definitely a good year to be an indie fan. No sooner had their second show in the series, featuring The Radio Dept., wrapped up, local promoter HAVE YOU HEARD? announced the Georgia-native quirky quintet would be putting on a show for us.

Like many of their previous albums, Innocence Reaches touches a variety of colourful synth-pop tunes. The album begins by challenging ideas about gender and attraction through an aery robotic query, “How do you identify?”

As the band’s fourteenth LP, Innocence Reaches surprised fans with its incorporation of contemporary electronica, indie pop, as well as EDM.

of Montreal’s frontman Kevin Barnes admitted experiencing with new sounds.

“Forever I’ve been detached from current music,” said Barnes. “I got into this bubble of only being in some other time period. I came up picking apart the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and symphonic pieces. But last year, I was hearing Jack Ü, Chairlift, Arca, and others, thinking about low end and sound collage. It was an extra layer to geek out on.”

Formed back in 1996 by Kevin Barnes, of Montreal was named after a failed romance between Barnes and a woman “of Montreal.” As part of Elephant 6 collective, of Montreal played alongside numerous notable independent bands of the nineties.
