Skeletal Lamping

Skeletal Lamping is the ninth album by of Montreal, released a year after their previous record, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? This record was much more experimental, and was designed as one piece of music that all flows together. Kevin Barnes mentions that he wanted the record to feel like one piece with hundreds of movements. Most of the songs have 3 to 4 sections that are starkly different. Overall, the record continues the funk influenced sound that was presented on the latter half of their previous record.
