of Montreal have announced a UK and European tour for April 2015 in support of their forthcoming new album ‘Aureate Gloom’, set for release 2nd March via Polyvinyl Records, the band will play a total of five dates across the UK
"A golden despondency" is how Kevin Barnes translates the meaning behind 'Aureate Gloom', the title he gave of Montreal's thirteenth full-length album. The oxymoron is one Barnes says best describes the overall state of his life and mental outlook while working on the record: first on a writing retreat in New York City, then while demoing tracks in Athens, before finally recording at Sonic Ranch, just across the border from Juarez, Mexico in the Texan desert.
