Celebrated for their unique and prolific output, frontperson and primary songwriter \/ multi-instrumentalist Kevin Barnes recorded the album at Brooklyn's Honey Jar studios with audio engineer, Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, Toro y Moi), with basic tracking done live to a 16-track tape machine with Barnes' longtime live band. \"I wanted to capture a quick moment together and to make on-the-fly, spontaneous creative decisions,\" says Barnes. \"It felt very liberating and exhilarating to have to start and finish an album in a month's time.\" The result shimmers with indie pop elements of their 2004 release, Satanic Panic in the Attic, as well as the raw, live energy of 2013's Lousy With Sylvianbriar. Inspired partly from a recent move to Brooklyn, NY and a yearning for community, the album marks a shift in Barnes' daily routines, with the album's title referencing a section of Prospect Park called the Nethermead, where Barnes walks their dog every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAlready Dreaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eWanting on Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eListen to Music and Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eMy Zhe Zhe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eTake the Form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHack it Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLacan in the Family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHaving a Moment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom the Font of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eTo Nothing’s Reward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNow We Cringe at the Thought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDismissal Mosaics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44699322712179,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":44699322744947,"sku":null,"price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/a1281671288_10.jpg?v=1775345432","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/of-montreal-aethermead-preorder-out-6-5","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
