Let's pretend we're in Antarctica

I've only recently become a fan, so I'm slowly becoming aware of what people mean when they speak of the latest album as uncharacteristically angry and frustrated. Some of the arrangements just keep evolving away from any kind of poppy hook. I kinda dig the solipsistic frustration and perhaps that's why I can ferret out the melancholy underneath this older song of theirs. It is a happy tune with a colorful, non-threatening vid but I sense a deeper vibe. Is it just me?

Of Montreal -- 'Wraith Pined to the Mist'
