Of Montreal’s Skeletal Lamping (album art, above) is set to hit shelves October 7, 2008 and yesterday, Pitchfork streamed the band’s first single, “Id Engager” and closing track to of Montreal’s ninth studio album. The new song stays true to Hissing Fauna ’s disco-funk fabulousity, but it somehow seems less interesting. The shock and fresh value seems to have expired after my obsessive gentrification of their 2007 set. With that said, I am still very anxious and excited to listen to their album come October (but really, more like September right?). Listen to the new single below and pre-order the 7″ single now that includes b-side, “Alter Eagle” and a free digital download.
