Inspired by the upheaval caused by separating from his wife, Nina Barnes, Kevin Barnes delves into the making of of Montreal's newest album, Aureate Gloom, with Stereogum. Similar to his writer's retreat in San Francisco for Lousy With Sylvianbriar, Barnes traveled to New York to draw inspiration from the 70's Talking Heads / CBGB era.

Included in the interview is a stripped-down demo version of "Belle Glade Misssionaries" from Lousy With Sylvianbriar. Read the full interview at Stereogum HERE, and expect Aureate Gloom out in March of 2015!

Untili then, you can catch them on tour playing with labelmates Pillar Point all of October. On top of that, of Montreal has also just announced a leg of shows in January with support from Nedelle Torrisi. Find tickets at our tour page HERE.
