A couple of items related to Of Montreal, which has been on vacation for a couple months and unusually quiet.

On August 22 Suicide Squeeze will be releasing a 2-disc compilation celebrating its 10th anniversary, featuring artists like The Unicorns, Iron & Wine, Modest Mouse, Elliot Smith, Minus the Bear, The Aislers Set, and much more, including Of Montreal's Suicide Squeeze single "Voltaic Crusher/Undrum to Muted Da." With crystal-clear CD clarity, you'll now be able to turn "Undrum to Muted Da" all the way up to make that distant piano sound a little bit closer.

In addition, mxdwn.com has posted a review of the last batch of Of Montreal reissues from Polyvinyl: The Bird Who Continues to Eat the Rabbit's Flower, The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy, and The Early Four Track Recordings, plus, as a bonus, the superb EP Deflated Chime, Foals Slightly Flower Sibylline Responses (I just pasted that title, because every time a blogger laboriously types the entire title out, somewhere Kevin Barnes laughs maniacally). You can read it here. Thanks to doomsayer at the Townhall.
