As previously announced, of Montreal are set to release a rarities compilation consisting of 17 unreleased tracks. The effort, titled Daughter of Cloud, is expected to drop October 23rd via Polyvinyl Records. Today, they are offering a free download of one of the tracks.
“Feminine Effects” is a major deviation from the rest of the record and features Rebecca Cash, a vocalist discovered by Kevin Barnes. The song’s country vibe is placed in the middle of the release, serving as a break from the sexed-up-psych-pop of Montreal is so accustomed to delivering.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Barnes explained the track.
“I wrote the song many years ago, and for a long time I was searching for the right girl to sing the lead vocals. I tried a bunch of different people before I discovered Rebecca Cash. She helped me realize the old school honky tonk vibe I was envisioning.”
Check out the song below as well as the tracklist for Daughter of Cloud.
