Teaming up with Grammy-nominated producer Jon Brion (Kanye West, Fiona Apple), of Montreal’s mastermind Kevin Barnes traveled to famed Ocean Way Recording (Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra) to record False Priest, his self-professed masterpiece.

As discussed in features in Rolling Stone, SPIN, Under the Radar and Pitchfork, False Priest is speaker-rattling heavy on the low end and features appearances by Janelle Monae and Solange Knowles (Beyonce’s sister).

The album also marks the return of organic instruments -- with live drums, strings and pianos replacing the midi sounds and sequencers of previous albums.

The CD and 2xLP both feature a 20-page booklet of new paintings from David Barnes and Gemini Tactics.
