Description
Paralytic Stalks musical and lyrical directions are infinitely more personal than anything of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes has written since 2007s Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? (which was featured on 30 Best Album lists including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and has sold over
100,000 copies to date).
Recorded at Barness home studio in Athens, GA, Paralytic Stalks is a stimulating array of densely packed ideas presented with stunning agility. Each track feeds off the last in what seems a singular album-long movement that never allows you to rip your ears away. Paralytic Stalks at times resembles modern classical with its intricate compositions, while at others echoes of neo-prog, pseudocountry, and 60s pop.
The album cover features new art from David Barnes (who recently published his debut art book Whats Weird? on Polyvinyl). The double LP (double 180-gram yellow vinyl with digital download) also includes a 12 x 24 pull-out poster.
15 year touring history including high profile festivals such as All Tomorrows Parties, Lollapalooza, Pitchfork, Sundance, Bonnaroo, Coachella and Bumbershoot.
Music has been featured in television and film including Weeds, Ugly Betty, The OC, Cloverfield, I Am Here and September Issue, as well as television commercials for Comcast, NASDAQ, and more.
