I haven’t posted about of Montreal in a while, but the indie-glam royalty collaborated with Janelle Monáe on the track “Make the Bus” from the upcoming album The ArchAndroid (due out March 18th). You can stream the track at Some Kind of Awesome. You will notice the Kevin Barnes touches, in the style of Skeletal Lamping, just about immediately. If you’re anxious for a freak fix between oM albums, this does the trick.
On the subject, Lexington, KY-based You Ain’t No Picasso has a contest going where the winner gets a $50 shopping spree at Lexington’s CD Central with of Montreal’s B.P. Helium when the band visits the city on May 27th. Details for entry (which are rather unique) can be found at YANP. Get your entry in before May 24th for a chance to win.
