Back in July we gave you a taste of what to expect from Lousy With Sylvianbriar, the upcoming LP from local pop freaks of Montreal. “Fugitive Air” featured a more raucous vibe than we’ve come to expect from the group, which has taken a turn towards disco-flavored glitter-pop in recent years.
“She Ain’t Speakin’ Now,” another track from the new album, is even more straightforward in its ’60s garage-rawk vibes. From the press release:
“She Ain’t Speakin’ Now” ranks among of Montreal’s all-time great songs, transforming its brooding acoustic guitar intro into a visceral angst-ridden rocker that sounds like the best moments of Neil Young & Crazy Horse.
Well, half of that is true, anyway. Stream the tune below:
Lousy with Sylvianbriar comes out Oct. 8 via Polyvinyl, and of Montreal plays the 40 Watt Club on Friday, Oct. 18.
