of Montreal - UR FUN [FULL ALBUM STREAM]

Kevin and Christina make out in a car at the airport, flipping off the police officer that tells them to keep moving. Kevin and Christina discuss taking ecstasy as couple’s therapy. Kevin and Christina break down and then reconnect. The new love we heard about on the last of Montreal record, White is Relic/Irrealis Mood, is settling. If that was the falling-in-love record, then this is the staying-in-love record. That was the easy part; this is the interesting part, the challenging part, the next chapter of Kevin Barnes’ autobiographical album streak, UR FUN.
The public diary that started with of Montreal’s classic album Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? has continued into a growing string of increasingly personal works. On UR FUN, Barnes is more candid than ever, presenting ten concise electro-pop songs that expose the depths of his current life, his private thoughts-both optimistic and brooding-and his passionate relationship with songwriter Christina Schneider of Locate S,1. This ramped-up vulnerability has inspired Barnes to strip his stage persona of costumes and drag, just appearing as himself on recent tours for the first time in many years.
UR FUN contains a fundamental contradiction that will be familiar to of Montreal fans. The songs have a youthful, contemporary dance-pop feel, but contain dense, multidimensional, adult lyrics. UR FUN’s final moments bring the self-examination of the record full circle with some darker numbers that lament a lost friendship and slips of mental clarity. If the album’s bleak ending leaves you feeling hopeless, flip the record over again and remind yourself “Hush, hush, don’t let’s be negative.” This is all for fun after all.

10. 20th Century Schizofriendic Revengoid-man (37:14)

I wouldn't have missed that opportunity if that was me, to go up to Kevin and introduce myself, then gush over his brilliance.
You've had me everywhere, the track that proves to me every album has a song you fall in love with
this record exceeded my expectations! Kevin is an important voice.
yeah, i love it it's been so long. its brutal, this album, does it for me. tis beautiful. reminds of the old band. hiope they never drowned , in kevins quicksand.
I don't even wanna haunt this place!
Another iconic album from my fav band. We stan sm!! ^•^
Ah of montreal, we missed u
Kevin, what more can be said ? You're absolutely the most profound artist EVER ! and you still have 40 to 50 years of creation still ahead, what a gift to the world you are !
My favorite since Paralytic Stalks. Love the vibes and general sound on this.
thank you, of montreal, you deserve more of the human race
i'd hate to be missing of montreal--Kevin your literal and figurative voices bring me so much joy. long time follower
I love how his style evolves and the messages are always relatable to my experiences. His tunes always make me want to dance, whether it was his old 4-tracks and/or this GEM. And everything in between, oh yes. :) Fuck yeah Kevin, get it baby!
Number One on the College Radio PlayLists for Week of 1/31/20!
This has cemented itself as one of my favorite albums of all time.
It never fails- always impressive!
Gypsy That Remains 💕
I listened a lot of pop music in my life, this album is among the best!

Did this album predict the ‘rona?
i love kevin and all but i really feel like the drums are an important part of his music and they are very much lacking on this record. this feels like an 80's Joan Jett situation or something gen x sings kareoke too. im not mad i just never saw this coming.
kevin barnes for president??

I’ve been wary of the direction of Montreal has been going since innocence reaches but I binged through all the albums and found it to be kind of beautiful to see how far this project has gone. Things have definitely changed, and I’m not the same person I was when the first album I listened to (skeletal lamping) was released. You may have just grown in a different path to the artists and that’s totally okay. Please be respectful to each other!
