When creators f^ck with how we experience time and space, great fictions emerge: Clive Barker's Imajica, Andrei Tarkovsky's sci-fi classic Solaris, and Godard's Alphaville. But what happens to artists when the flow of time gets f^cked up IRL? When an hour stretches into eternity, and the voices in your head begin to echo through empty rooms?
If you're Kevin Barnes, the creative visionary behind of Montreal, Freewave Lucifer f^ck f^ck f^ck happens.
Isolation and uncertainty loomed throughout the genesis of the band's latest studio album. "The experience of just trying to keep my head above water and navigate through the last couple years played a huge role in this record," says Barnes.
These expansive selections contrast markedly with the focused pop of 2020's UR FUN, which was crafted for visceral thrills and the concert stage. As it was for countless musicians around the world, the inability to tour eliminated one of the linchpins of Barnes' creative process. "I didn't know if we'd ever tour again, so I didn't consider that side of things." Denied social interaction and diverse experiences, Barnes delved inward.
