Dance-pop outfit Of Montreal’s “Daughter of Cloud” is a collection of rarities and unreleased tracks. The package of recycled goods will be a delight for hardcore fans, but for those not accustomed to Of Montreal’s innate weirdness, it may be a hard pill to swallow. The whimsical synth is in full force on “Daughter of Cloud” along with singer Kevin Barnes’ distinct falsetto crooning. The compilation gives the listener an auditory experience on par with substances that can only be found in sketchy backstreet exchanges. The psychedelic waves can be rather disorienting at times, especially when most of the songs have the tendency to bleed into one another. The bizarre ride is equal parts fun as it is mind-boggling. Top songs to check out from the 17-track album are “Subtext Read, Nothing New” and “Micro University.”
