They Finally Did It

Of Montreal and Blik recently teamed up to create a visual representation of Of Montreal's latest album, Skeletal Lamping, in the form of graphic decals. There are two collections that can be purchased: Gemini Tactics, an art ensemble of people and buildings; the other is David Barnes collection (brother to lead singer, Kevin Barnes) which consists of striking graphics with darker hues. Both collections can be purchased at blik's website: http://www.whatisblik.com/ofmontreal.html

"The goal of the Skeletal Lamping Collection is to expand the perception of music packaging beyond traditional flat, square artwork. The album exists in seven different packaging formats: CD, LP, T-shirt, tote bag, button set, paper lantern, and wall decals. Each item in the Skeletal Lamping Collection includes both the digital album and its unique packaging of the album art.Ideally, every object you bring into your home should feel exceptional to you, otherwise, it just adds to the clutter and chaos of your life. We feel, there's no reason to produce another object that just sits on the shelf. We only want to produce objects that have functionality and can be treasured for their singularity. Objects that can transform a room, bend the mind and inform your dreams."- Kevin Barnes, of Montreal
