    With The Sunlandic Twins, Barnes paved the way for a string of critically acclaimed albums, late-night TV appearances, and collaborations with legends like Solange, Janelle Monáe, and Jon Brion. The band’s influence spans continents, festival stages, and generations, boasting appearances at Coachella, Sasquatch!, and Pitchfork Music Festival, and amassing hundreds of millions of streams along the way.

    And let’s not forget their live shows—an of Montreal concert is nothing short of a psychedelic spectacle.
