NAME: of Montreal PROGRESS REPORT: Prepping False Priest ("I'm back and forth between The Controller Sphere, and False Priest") the followup to Skeletal Lamping, out sometime in August or September. Engineered by Jon Brion (probably). Featuring cameos from Solange Knowles, Janelle Monae and "one or two other people..." The anticipated new of Montreal album may or may not be complete. Kevin Barnes says it all depends on how some upcoming sessions with Jon Brion work out. Barnes, who's always worked at home, alone, will meet up with Brion in early spring to work on the 16 songs that will likely make the new record. "If I wasn't going to go out there with Jon then they'd basically be done. They could be done. If I go out there with Jon and we both decide it's not working or whatever, I'll still have an album. And if I go out there and figure this is really great, then I'll have a different album," he says. Either way, the album won't be Skeletal Lamping over again. Barnes says the band is using this break to rethink their live performances, and have made an album that accommodates that. His plans are ambitious: he'd like to get rid of of Montreal's pre-recorded backing tracks, and round out the band line-up to ten or so musicians. "We're going to try to do something closer to the kind of bands that Curtis Mayfield or Stevie Wonder had in the '70s," says Barnes. Continue reading Progress Report: of Montreal...

Those three along with Mark Ronson, Cool Kids, and producers like Bloodshy & Avant, Pharrell, Just Blaze, Swizz Beats, etc. It's for M5's Call And Response: The Remix Album, which came out yesterday via Octone. Stream it all at Maroon 5's MySpace and see what happens when Adam Levine puts his voice in Kevin Barnes's hands.

Tonight, they've got off, but over the next few months, free evenings will be few and far between for the dashing lads of Franz Ferdinand. The band, fresh off the digital release of new single "Ulysses" and currently out on the road in the States, has lined up a whole mess of European dates in the late winter and early spring in support of their...

Like many Pitchfork readers-- guessing here-- I'm not too terribly familiar with Maroon 5 catalogue outside of a couple of the big radio hits. What I've heard, anyway, strikes me as being pretty decent as far as these corporate rock bands go, and Adam Levine at least has a voice completely distinct from all the gruff, throaty losers who sprang u...
