Here’s a new track from Of Montreal’s upcoming Paralytic Stalks, due out on February 7. It’s a strange one, but what do you expect from a band that looks like that (*points at above picture*)? “Dour Percentage” covers a lot of ground, easing in with a flurry of flute, building up into a falsetto-heavy, ’70s style easy-listening melody, and eventually breaking out into what sounds like a less-grandiose version of a Queen song. It’s hard to be mad at that.
