''The Sunlandic Twins'' is the seventh album by indie pop band Of Montreal. The album continues further into the more electronic territory first explored on 2004's ''Satanic Panic in the Attic''. It was recorded almost entirely by Kevin Barnes, the band's singer and songwriter, in Athens, GA and Oslo, Norway throughout 2004. ==Background== Initial pressings of the album contained a bonus EP featuring four new tracks. One of them, "Keep Sending Me Black Fireworks," features Kevin's wife Nina on vocals, while "Art Snob Solutions" features the same instrumental track as the earlier "Will You Let Me into Your Dream". The double vinyl edition of the album included an additional bonus track, "Family Nouveau". The title of "So Begins Our Alabee" refers to the couple's daughter, Alabee Barnes, who is also the partial subject of "Family Nouveau", along with Nina. "Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games)" was featured as a re-recorded jingle in a television commercial for Outback Steakhouse, with altered lyrics.〔()〕 This caused a slight uproar among fans,〔() 〕 although Kevin Barnes claimed the income would go towards the band's next tour. "Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games)" was also featured in Matt Reeves 2008 monster flick entitled "Cloverfield" and in the American TV Series "Weeds". "Everyday Feels Like Sunday", from the bonus EP, was featured on a NASDAQ commercial. As with the previous six albums, David Barnes, Kevin's brother, created all the artwork for ''The Sunlandic Twins'', including the album cover and an etching on the B-side of the vinyl edition. Videos were made for "Requiem for O.M.M.2", "So Begins Our Alabee", and "Wraith Pinned to the Mist (and Other Games)". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Sunlandic Twins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
