It was a tough call to leave that one out! I also fancied including “Montreal” as it’s a nice origin story for the band’s name. I love Cherry Peel so much — and I feel like I’m hearing its influence in quite a few newer bands. The Being Dead record from last year had a little bit of it, and LA power pop maestro Billy Tibbals did a song called “Lucy” that was pure early of Montreal.
Great primer on a really fun band! Would add “Tim I Wish You Were Born a Girl” as an early career highlight.
