Of Montreal

If He Is Protecting Our Nation, Then Who Will Protect Big Oil, Our Children

BY Matt CharltonPublished May 1, 2003

Sounding like XTC after a month of Monty Python and bad peyote, Of Montreal is back with a new collection of B-sides, unreleased songs and covers. The band follows their usual "old is new” ’60s psych retread sound and prove that even in their outtakes they’re easily among the best of their kind. In a genre that is built on pillaging back catalogue like a rap mogul, Of Montreal manages to keep their songs vividly original and on this collection of strays, that fact is just as evident as ever.
