Of Montreal's frontman Kevin Barnes follows his 2007 album, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, a dark rumination on Barnes' addictions, with something a little lighter: Skeletal Lamping, an album predominantly concerned with getting busy. "We can do it softcore, if you want/ but you should know I go both ways" sings Barnes on standout "For Our Elegant Caste," and things get freakier from there. Love may be rotten to the core (as posited by 20th century philospher David Lee Roth) but Barnes finds new ways to be reinvigorated (both metaphorically and literally) by love and its antecedents on Skeletal Lamping.
