So MGMT and Of Montreal are back with absolutely superb records and that is well enough for me to make 2018 a musical year to celebrate. But please do not tell me that any of these records are great comebacks: MGMT and Of Montreal have been putting out restlessly masterpieces for over a decade now.
There is so much more to Robert Pollard beyond Bee Thousand. His solo career, per se, would beat anything Kozelek has released so far. And I love Kozelek music.
How can somebody talk about Moon Safari without mentioning Serge Gainsbourg? Go and listen to Melody Nelson, Vu de l'Exterieur, Tête de Chou, etc. Everything about this fabulous album was already articulated by Gainsbourg 20 years before.
