Today, of Montreal announced that their new album False Priest, is coming out on September 14th via Polyvinyl. You can pre-order it now. The album art is posted above. The band is offering a free mp3 download of lead single “Coquet Coquette”. You can download that here (or at the end of this post).
The song is a damn tune. It has a major guitar riff that may just be one of the heavier moments that we have received from the band as of late. Kevin Barnes and his quirky vocals work with the riff to near perfection.The addition of live drums really does wonders for the band. Around the 2:40 mark it hits a Quentin Tarintnio/Kill Bill atmosphere that floored me. I wasn’t a fan of Skeletal Lamping, so my expectations for this new material were low. I certainly didn’t expect a song like this, but hot damn, this song is a major jam. It fucking rules!
Overall, I am very, very, impressed with “Coquet Coquette”. Grab it below, and see why:

[...] Kind of Awesome. The song sees the bands return to their more funky side after the guitar heavy “Coquet Coquette” (which is one of my favorite songs from 2010 so far). With influences taken from disco, electro, [...]
