And when Of Montreal do take breaks, well, they’re not really a break at all.

Following its sold-out mini-residency at New York’s Music Hall of Williamsburg last week, the band ventured up to the Bronx where it took to WFUV’s Alternative side for some in-studio performing. Among the selections performed? A brand new, yet-to-be released song called “Croquet, Croquet”, along with a cover of The Beatles’ “I’m So Tired”. Both selections are rather subdued for Of Montreal’s taste, but certainly have their moments. Plus, the piano on each is a welcome addition.

Check out “Croquet, Croquet” at TheAlternateSide.org and “I’m So Tired” below. Tour dates after that.
