Monday long song: The Past Is A Grotesque Animal

There must be something in the water in Athens, Georgia, for that is where indie five-piece Of Montreal crystalised.

This is quite something, I think. In the absence of a conventional video, I've found a fan-made lyric video, for there are a lot of interesting lyrics.

Hands up if you Googled Georges Bataille after this...?

  1. Marvellous! We were quite into Of Montreal for a while in the mid-noughties. The band even played a show in Norwich, where I was surprised to find that a) other people in the UK had heard of them (it was almost a sell-out) and b) I was the oldest person in attendance by about 20 years!

    Somewhere I have an alternative version of The Past Is A Grotesque Animal that I'll post one of these days, which you might find interesting.
