This is a band that doesn't get mentioned much around here but I suspect that there are a few fans hanging about.
GranSwishDaddy first introduced me to this band with a copy of Sunlandic Twins. I was a little surprised that I liked it as much as I did. As most of you know, this isn't the kind of stuff that I would normally listen to but I listened with an open mind and found that I really enjoyed the quirkiness of that CD.
Since then, I have purchased Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies; Icons, Abstract Thee; and Satanic Panic in the Attic.
Coquelicot is probably my favourite so far. I say "so far" because I'm pretty sure that I'm not finished collecting this band's CDs.
They remind me a bit of the Scissor Sisters. Not in musical content but more in the quirky strangeness of the lyrics and music. There is a whimsicalness about Of Montreal that is very endearing. Strangely, I find that same whimsical feel in the Scissor Sisters, but they have a much darker more cynical whimsy.
