About This Item
Of Montreal's major voice Kevin Barnes has unparalleled talent to write lyrics that double as relatable adult situations and children's fable. This trend continues on Coquelicot Asleep In The Poppies. While there are come similarities to their previous efforts Bedside Drama and The Gay Parade, Coquelicot is more ambitious in it's concept, arrangements, lyrics, and even artwork. As with other of Montreal albums, this one works as a concept, but the songs also stand on their own, which is even more impressive. Album Tracks 1. Good Morning Mr. Edminton 2. Peacock Parasols 3.
