Pitchfork Reviews Of Montreal Reissues

Published Friday, March 10, 2006 by Jeff | E-mail this post

Pitchfork, the go-to indie news site for the mainstream media, has posted a review of Polyvinyl's Of Montreal reissues today: The Bird Who Continues to Eat the Rabbit's Flower, The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy, and The Early Four Track Recordings. They dismiss Bedside Drama in a way that's sure to infuriate certain Of Montreal fans, but it's a pretty well-written review of the 3 CDs overall, and one I generally agree with. I popped in The Early Four Track Recordings a little while ago--after not having listened to it for a couple years--and was struck with how well it held up. But I think the only reason I still can't listen to Bedside Drama is that it's too depressing. Unless, I suppose, you program your iPod to play the tracks in reverse.
All of the reissues are on sale now at Polyvinyl's website.
