Kevin Barnes' waggish, wild-eyed brainchild was born 14 long years ago. It's grown an awful lot — and not always smoothly — since then, from gushy twee-folk infancy through the imaginative, fingerpainted tweeny-pop of albums like Satanic Panic into the pubescent excess of 2008's messy, awkward and exuberantly debaucherous Skeletal Lamping. We'll have to wait a few months to hear Of Montreal as a teenager, on the forthcoming False Priest (notably abetted by "mature" pop auteur Jon Brion). Meanwhile, Barnes and crew are back to wave their freak flags and whatever else they dream up.
