It's so beautiful, our lunacy

We recently bought two Of Montreal albums, Satanic Panic in the Attic and Sunlandic Twins.  Of Montreal is new to me, but they've been around a while.  Oh!  I can't tell you how much I love them.

At first, you might think they are a typical 80's-type band, like Bravery or Bloc Party (both of which I love), but Of Montreal goes deeper and is tapping into the music that inspired the 80's.  I'm talking about Eno's Here Come the Warm Jet's, Bowie's Low or his Heroes, and Roxy Music.  Every song is super catchy, perfectly written musically and lyrically, and I just can't get enough.

We also bought Roxy Music's self-titled album.  Oh, it's super awesome, too.  Eno was part of the band then.  Seriously, sometimes I can't tell if I'm listening to Of Montreal or Roxy Music when I listen to the albums together.
