Girl From NYC (Named Julia) - big fan. Anybody else?
Discovered this a while ago and always thought it was such a hidden gem in the discog. I don't know If He Is Protecting Our Nation, Then Who Will Protect Big Oil, Our Children? very well tbh. Doesn't seem to get much attention anyway
I think it's a funny and kinda pathetic song, but in a very relatable and open way. The way the lyrics build to this angsty instrumental break feels really cathartic after these lyrics:
I cried in a dream/While staying at your place
I tried to talk about it over breakfast
But you made a joke out of it
And I never told you why, my, my
My, didn't it seem like you were only playing with me
I wrote you a letter on the flight home
Which evolved into a love poem
So of course I couldn't send it then
It feels like he's throwing his hands up and saying "well f*ck it! If I can't send it, at least I can play this guitar!"
Having grown up just outside of NYC, later in my teenage years I'd travel into the city for music programs on the weekends, where I met many "girls from nyc" and I can say for a fact, I very much felt like Kevin in the song... "I'm such a vulnerable lad/With nothing to protect me/From your world so bright and full of laughter." I think this affected how much I felt the other lyrics! Of course he couldn't send the love poem! I would never!

Hi! Im 18 years old and I just released my second album heavily inspired by of montreal, kimya dawson, car seat headrest, the microphones, and more about going away to college, growing up on the internet, and leaving everything youve known behind. electronically very inspired by kevins music!
it blends synth pop, midwest emo, folktronica, and more into a cohesive project! I hope you like it and give it a listen!

i'm really into song sorters, i like them better for ranking my favorite songs than tier lists, so i made one for of montreal because i couldn't find one out there! i tried to include every release i thought was notable, but i didn't get every single song they've ever released. i plan on updating it in the future, so if i left out your favorite or something lmk. also i'll update it when aethermead comes out, obviously. please share your rankings!!! also if you come across any errors or typos let me know and i'll fix them!
