Lady on the Cusp is the nineteenth studio album by American indie rock band of Montreal. It was released on May 17, 2024, through Polyvinyl Record Co..
Prior to the album's release, Kevin Barnes and his partner Christina Schneider left Athens, Georgia for the state of Vermont. The process of relocating from his home of nearly three decades directly inspired this album. [1] A press release refers to Lady on the Cusp as a "reintroduction" to the band, continuing on a "path forward rather" instead of revisiting "past sounds". [2] The album announcement on March 5, 2024, also saw the release of the lead single "Yung Hearts Bleed Free", which was inspired by Leos Carax's Boy Meets Girl (1984), the group Bootsy's Rubber Band and the purchase of a Yamaha TG33 and a Kawai K1M. [3] With the track, Barnes aimed at a "strutting, sexy little vamp of a song" that came out "playful and free". [4] A North American tour to support the album will take place from May to July 2024.
