Aug 18, 2010 of Montreal By Kyle Lemmon

The new video for of Montreal‘s “Coquet Coquette” is pretty crazy. During its 3:28-running time you’ll witness a cannibalistic group of marauders storming a deserted island. There’s witch doctors, necrophilia, face-painting, and a shirtless Kevin Barnes for the ladies in the house. Basically, all hell breaks loose. The clip was helmed by Jason Miller of Eikon Productions and features the whole of Montreal crew. They don’t call Wednesday “Hump Day” for nothing, folks.

The band’s tenth LP False Priest is out September 14 in North America and a day earlier in Europe via Polyvinyl. It’s now been announced that the label Joyful Noise will be releasing a limited edition cassette version of False Priest. It’ll be limited to 500 hand-numbered copies that will feature a 12-panel booklet that includes art by Kevin Barnes, along with David Barnes and Nina Barnes. The cassette also comes with a digital download.

The band has a bunch of tour dates in the works (see below the video), most are with Janelle Monáe and they’ve just announced two new dates in Atlanta and San Francisco.
