Did you know that of Montreal had side projects? I had no clue! Now I come to figure out that they have two, and both are planning on releasing EPs. Though, I'm not sure how much they'll count as TWO side projects because both contain members Davey Pierce and Nicolas Dobbratz. Guess you can't have too many aliases, right? Sugar & Gold and Yip Deceiver will be releasing their albums later this year, with Yip Deceiver touring in of Montreal's downtime. Hear a couple of their songs in the player below.
But, musings aside, of Montreal has got some plans of their own: an EP written at the same time as False Priest, an album with songs like "This Planet is an Orphanage" and tour dates throughout North America. Check out dates for of Montreal and Yip Deceiver's tours below.
