Teaming up with Grammy nominated producer Jon Brion (Kanye West, Fiona Apple), Barnes traveled to famed Ocean Way Recording (Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra) to record False Priest, his self professed masterpiece. As discussed in features in Rolling Stone, SPIN, Under the Radar and Pitchfork, False Priest is speaker, rattling heavy on the low end and features appearances by Janelle Monáe and Solange Knowles (Beyoncé's sister). The album also marks the return of organic instruments as live drums, strings and pianos eschew the midi sounds and sequencers of previous albums. Review The garish collage that comprises the cover of the tenth of Montreal album offers a pretty accurate appraisal of its sonic palette. Although always a fairly outlandish songwriter, mainman Kevin Barnes' increasingly erratic stylistic twists have taken a turn for the even weirder on False Priest, leaving it a listen that will test the patience of all but OM's staunchest fans.Stated to be the third record in a trilogy that began with 2007's Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, False Priest certainly touches on the same themes as Fauna... and 2008's Skeletal Lamping (chiefly sex, love and, um, psychology). But the novelty factor of the group’s colourful alt-pop – with less emphasis here on the "alt" – has unfortunately started to wane.Over-familiarity with Barnes' recent oeuvre aside, the material on False Priest just isn't as strong as the songs that comprise those other records. Whilst on the surface this would appear to be the most collaborative of Montreal LP yet – co-producer Jon Brion (Dido, Kanye West, Keane) shares instrumental duties with Barnes, and pop divas Solange Knowles and Janelle Monáe contribute backing vocals – the concept of the 'band' is sounding increasingly like a vehicle for its singer's ego.That might sound a little harsh, but there are a few moments here that are genuinely cringe-worthy. The screeching falsetto that propels the Prince-aping I Feel Ya' Strutter, for instance, renders that track an instant Marmite cut and practically unlistenable to these ears. Would-be-epic closer You Do Mutilate? harbours such couplets as "Whatcha want / Somebody who'll salute your kindness? / Salute your Busta Rhymness", while Barnes’ sing-speak on Our Riotous Defects is awash with meaningless platitudes: "I did everything I could to make you happy / I participated in all your protests / Supported your stupid little blog, got a Bowflex". Sonically, too, the banks of synths and layered vocals sound like a desperate attempt to compete with big contemporary pop records.It was always of Montreal's refusal to comply with the status quo, to make their own take on outsider-pop, that was one of their most attractive qualities. Here, they come off sounding like a poor man's Scissor Sisters and even the Knowles/Monáe numbers and Coquette Coquette, which are the record's only real successes, aren't enough to mitigate its mediocrity. --Rob WebbFind more music at the BBC This link will take you off in a new window ## Images ![False Priest - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61B6VtR-z9L.jpg) ![False Priest - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FHOkF1v0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER MAGIC MOMENT *by S***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2010* As facing a masterpiece at first hearing it sounds weird but interesting but the more you listen to it the more you're hooked.magical!!!!!I saw them live last week in PARIS and it was awesome just simply great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars How False Was My Priest? *by G***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2010* Great album have it on vinyl, takes a side to get going then it all flows together rather lovely!I find this very funky, it has some good Prince like moments and lots of asfaflkf.,Azvz,xvnnUUUUURGGGGGHHHHHHH (falls asleep) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/50273448-false-priest](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/50273448-false-priest) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
