Of Montreal Is Working on a New Album, and They're Using Fuzz Straps

One of our favorite bands, Of Montreal, is back in the studio working on some new music. This time they brought their Fuzz straps along. Guitarist Ben Lewis sent us some photos of the Kurt Vile in action on a 1954 Les Paul gold top.

First of all, it really doesn't get much better than a '54 gold top, and second of all that guitar strap looks freaking fantastic with that guitar. I'm not sure we've seen a better guitar + Fuzz strap pairing to date. Looking forward to hearing the new tunes. We're certain you'll be able to hear that strap in the final mix.
