Of Montreal – Lousy With Sylvianbriar (pink) (rock)

Sunlit, spontaneous, and lushly pastoral — Lousy With Sylvianbriar marks a return to a more organic, folk-rock influence for Of Montreal. Kevin Barnes embraces a songwriting aesthetic rooted in analog warmth, intimate instrumentation, and vivid storytelling. The album feels like walking through half-remembered dreams painted in bright greens and dusty golds.

Track Highlights

• “Fugitive Air” — A bright, anthemic opener that channels classic rock energy through Barnes’s idiosyncratic sensibility.

• “Raindrop in My Skull” — A softer, haunting duet featuring Rebecca Cash — sparse, emotive, and vivid.

• “She Ain’t Speakin’ Now” — Builds from brooding quietism into emotive release; one of the album’s more direct rock statements.
