Aug 13, 2013 of Montreal By Mike Hilleary

This fall singer/songwriter Kevin Barnes and his band of Montreal return with their newest album lousy with sylvianbriar. In anticipation of the record’s impending arrival the psychedelic pop outfit has shared one of its included cuts “she ain’t speakin’ now.”

“I wrote the song when both my wife and daughter were bedridden with a terrible illness,” Barnes explains in recent interview with Rolling Stone. “It was during the middle of our recording sessions for Sylvianbriar, so I was pretty paranoid about catching what they had. I would sort of hold my breath whenever I was near them. I wrote the song while fearing the worst. Fortunately, they both recovered.”
