UR FUN [LP] (RED VINYL, DOWNLOAD)

The new love we heard about on the last of Montreal record, White is Relic/Irrealis Mood, is settling. If that was the falling-in-love record, then this is the staying-in-love record. That was the easy part; this is the interesting part, the challenging part, the next chapter of Kevin Barnes' autobiographical album streak, UR FUN.?Inspired by albums like Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual and Janet Jackson's Control , Barnes set out to make UR FUN into the kind of album where every song could be a single, complete with huge hooky choruses and nostalgic dance grooves. The result is an unstoppably fun album that could also pass for a carefully sequenced greatest-hits collection if taken out of context. ?UR FUN is another fascinating look into what makes Barnes one of the most prolific and gifted songwriters of this decade. ??1.
