of Montreal Enlists Children Superheros to Fight Evil in New Video for “Get God’s Attention By Being An Atheist”

American indie band of Montreal have released the video to “Get God’s Attention By Being An Atheist,” from the band’s sixteenth studio album UR FUN that was released last month. The visuals quite literally  embody the playful nature of the song, as a band of young vigilante children seek to rid the evil out of their town. The use of black and white during the verses and vivid colors during the song’s chorus work in tandem to capture the contrast of tone between the verses and chorus.

Although of Montreal originally formed in 1996, the Athens, Georgia based band has not slowed down since the release of their first album, Cherry Peel, in 1997. The band’s most recent album, White Is Relic/Irrealis Mood, pushed the boundaries of rock by trying to blend electric dance music with the high energy vibes of 1980’s rock and roll.

of Montreal is set to go on tour at the end of this month, and will begin their string of shows at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland, Oregon and finish up at the Howlin’ Wolf in New Orleans, Louisiana. The band will also be heading to Madrid, Spain this May as headliners of the Tomavistas Festival along withJarvis Cocker, Suede and others.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
