Grade: B+
Of Montreal delivers a decidely funky, verging-on-R&B romp with “False Priest.” Lead singer Kevin Barnes sounds like an amalgamation of Prince, David Bowie and André 3000 as he performs his distinctly unique and sometimes bizarre lyrics. Though Barnes’ erratic falsetto is taxing at times, soulful guest appearances from Solange Knowles and Janelle Monáe provide vocal balance. “False Priest” is an solid entry into Of Montreal’s psychadelic catalog.
