Although many have tried in the past 30 years, few have come close to re-creating the magic honed by Elephant 6’s Kevin Barnes, who has led of Montreal since the late Nineties. Hailing originally from Athens, Georgia, within a scene that calling idyllic would be a severe understatement, Barnes has carried the four-track across the band’s manifold genres: from redefining psychedelic power pop for the first real time since the Beatles, to messing with electronic synths and an adjacent, extremely chaotic onstage performance element. At this point, it doesn’t matter if you’re a funk or art rock truther; of Montreal has an album for you. Austin-based Pelvis Wrestley and CorMae join the band this Wednesday. – Levi Langley
