Following recent excursions into '80s-inspired extended dance mixes (White Is Relic/Irrealis Mood), radio-minded dance-rock (Ur Fun), and more free-flowing, collage-like fusions of art rock, psychedelic pop, orchestra rock, and more (Freewave Lucifer f<ck f^ck f>ck), Of Montreal's 19th studio LP, Lady on the Cusp, hews closer to the latter. Having said that, on the whole, it's a hornier, sassier, funkier edition of the project that cites R&B legends Hot Chocolate as an inspiration (along with Saul Williams and the novels of Ursula K. Le Guin) for the song "Soporific Cell." That track's mix of seductive falsetto and verbose, harmonized patter, Rundgren-esque chord progressions and piano, spacy neo-disco, and Shaft-like playfulness provide a memorable moment at the halfway point of the album. Before that, though, "Music Hurts the Head" wraps lines like "Rock & roll is dead/That's why it's cool" in an arty, meandering, psychedelic space rock, the whimsically nightmarish "2 Depressed 2 Fuck" maunders in a stew of sound effects and haze, and the surprisingly (for 2020s Of Montreal) folk-rock-minded "Rude Girl on Rotation," while more straightforward and easy on the ears, still touches on uncensored sex.
