Album Review - of Montreal // UR FUN
of Montreal
UR FUN
Polyvinyl
4.5/5
UR FUN is the 16th studio album from Kevin Barnes indie pop band based in Athens, Georgia.
The album makes you want to laze in bed with a modern lover and sit in a discotheque in slow motion. First Barnes pokes holes in your average Joe’s off-the-rack tweed suit before beckoning you on an ethereal cathedral synth parade.
From there the album drives with a kick that first punches you in the face and then applies the concealer so you can keep listening. Just when you’re tired of hearing another synth Barnes throws in a fuzzed out guitar riff that lets your feet touch the ground in an otherwise atmospheric album.
When not entranced by his lyrics, the bass and percussive intricacies with more layers than an English trifle thrust you back into the heart of this album. A pop record with all the textures of Bowie’s wardrobe. It slaps.
