of Montreal Skeletal Lamping

3 stars out of 5 -- "A soulful romp through psychedelic melodies and sprawling noise-scapes, SKELETAL is also a whimsical, Girl Talk-style pastiche, with 15 tracks that consist of a multitude of song fragments."
Ranked #47 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "[A] riveting journey through Day-Glo disco and funk."
"LAMPING takes things further than ever, exploring an assortment of explicit fantasies via elaborate multipart suites on which Barnes plays virtually every instrument."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Continuing the high-density electro-disco shimmy, Kevin Barnes & Co. throw even more unexpected turns and infectious melodies into their newest crop of oddball love/lust ditties."
"The album's sound is a more intricate remix of FAUNA's futurama, another hyperbaric disco chamber filled with tech-noodling beats backing pop operettas..."
"One track sometimes appears to contain three individual songs, but they are all expertly sewn together to create a colorful patchwork."
4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Of Montreal turn Barnes's fragmented melodies into fizzy faux-funk, self-loathing piano balladry and shout-outs to old-school disco."
URB (p.84) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Of Montreal's pretentious compound syllables titillate mind and body..."
