"'When' is more a song about yearning, sadness, confusion, frustration...than it is a song about having sex. Clearly all of the things listed in the verses are the things I actually desire. I'm hiding behind a shield of sexual bravado and pretending as if my only needs are physical."
"'I've always had a romantic fascination with New York, but for forever I couldn't figure out how to make it work. The timing was perfect this time around.'"
"'I don't need to reinvent the wheel every time, but I really don't want to repeat myself either, and aiming for that is always a little bit hard, but it's fun too.'"
of Montreal will release their 20th studio album, aethermead, on June 5 via Polyvinyl. The album reflects personal changes in founder Kevin Barnes' life, including a breakup and relocation to Brooklyn. The first single, 'When,' indicates a shift to a harder-edged sound. Barnes expresses a desire to avoid repetition in his music while exploring deeper emotional themes. The song 'When' addresses yearning and emotional needs beyond physical desires. The band will begin their tour on June 19 in Athens, GA, with a performance at NYC's Webster Hall on June 23.
