Following last year's White Is Relic/Irrealis Mood, Of Montreal are continuing their prolific pace in announcing a full-length follow-up.

Kevin Barnes and co. will release new album UR FUN on January 17 through Polyvinyl. Ten tracks in length, the album was recorded entirely by Barnes at his home studio in Athens, GA.

UR FUN is said to be inspired by albums like Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual and Janet Jackson's Control, with Barnes seeking to record a full-length where every song could be a single. 

A first song arrives with opener "Peace to All Freaks," which Barnes describes as a "protest song against totalitarianism, familial terrorism and wastefulness in all its forms." You can hear that below. 

Barnes had previously debuted new song "Polyaneurism" live in Toronto at the city's Night Owl festival.

UR FUN is now available for pre-order. Of Montreal have also mapped out a U.S. tour, which you can find dates for here.
