teaming up with grammy-nominated producer jon brion (kanye west, fiona apple), of montreal's mastermind kevin barnes travelled to famed ocean way recording (michael jackson, ray charles, frank sinatra) to record 'false priest', his self-professed masterpiece. as discussed in features in rolling stone, spin, under the radar and pitchfork, 'false priest' is speaker-rattling heavy on the low end and features appearances by janelle mone and solange knowles (beyonce's sister). the album also marks the return of organic instruments - with live drums, strings and pianos replacing the midi sounds and sequencers of previous albums. the cd and double album both feature a 20-page booklet of new paintings from david barnes and gemini tactics.
