The Sunlandic Twins

Product Description
Hailing from Athens, Of Montreal have carved their own niche in the indie-pop world, establishing themselves as a uniquely twisted band that thrills fans with compelling live performances, delights critics with their constant innovations and refinements, and continually showcases their musical evolution that culls together influences as varied as Brian Eno, Television, Prince, and The Shins. "The Sunlandic Twins" is their most cohesive and adventurous record to date. It plays out like an electro pop opera. Beginning buoyant and opalescent, traversing a labyrinthine Neptune, and climaxing in blackout darkness one only discovers in warm solitude.

Love itI!!.......2007-01-11

I love Of Montreal! This is a great CD. I can't wait for Hissing Fauna...!!

Americanized Beatles.......2007-01-09

This CD is amazing. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who loves the Beatles or british sounding artists. The lyrics are very abstract but when combined with the music they are brilliant and very soothing. My 2 favorite tracks are ''Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games'' and ''I Was A Landscape in Your Dream'', but all of them are very good. There is also a bonus disc included with 4 or 5 tracks on it including ''Everyday Feels Like Sunday''.

Exceptionallly Tastefullll.......2006-12-01

I would absolutely reccomend such a brilliant masterpiece of an album. The first of the band's albums I've listened to all the way through and fell in love with. To this day it is still my favorite album. It mixes the pshychadelic feel of the 60's with the feel good dance beats in the 70's and incorporates many 80's new wave synths in such a brilliant way all wrapped in a very modern hip innovative sound. All aspects are wonderful. The lyrics are so catchy and thoughtful and just a joy to hear. I would strongly urge you to buy this album now! Disregard the reviews on here putting the album down because THE ALBUM ROCKS.

No more explaining and reading reviews go and purchase it and see for yourself...you will fall in love!

great music.......2006-11-26

I believe Of Montreal is one of the best bands out there today, and this album further proves how good they are at writing interesting, colorful vocal melodies.

Every vocal melody is exciting, but the thing that makes the Sunlandic Twins so great is how the band knows exactly when to toss in some kind of extremely unusual and satisfying musical instrument in the background. It's really well done.

The bonus disc is only 12 minutes long, but just as good as the regular album.

Delicious and infectious.......2006-11-10

These guys must have had a lot of fun putting this album together and I can only wish I had been a fly on the wall during the recording sessions. All the songs are delightfully and originally arranged with twisted lyris cleaverly intertwined through infectious melodies. Listening to The Sunlandic Twins is a little bit like sitting in the middle of a giant revolving 360-degree kaleidoscope with new colors and new shapes jumping at you relentlessly to leave you dazed and smiling...
