Of Montreal Announce New Album Innocence Reaches, Share New Song “it’s different for girls”: Listen

Of Montreal have announced a new album, Innocence Reaches. The follow-up to 2015’s Aureate Gloom and Snare Lustrous Doomings is out August 12 via Polyvinyl. The first single from the album, “it’s different for girls,” premiered today on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show. Listen to it and see the tracklist and cover art (made by frontman Kevin Barnes’ brother David to express his “wonderment for the female anatomy”) below.

In a press release, Barnes says he was influenced more than ever by contemporary music while making Innocence Reaches. “Forever I’ve been detached from current music,” he explains. “I got into this bubble of only being in some other time period. I came up picking apart the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and symphonic pieces. But last year, I was hearing Jack Ü, Chairlift, Arca, and others, thinking about low end and sound collage. It was an extra layer to geek out on.”

Innocence Reaches:

02 it’s different for girls
