I've been listening to Skeletal Lamping by of Montreal lately. If you aren't familiar with the album, here's a link to its lead single "Id Engager".

While listening to the album I was amazed at how Kevin Barnes (the singer, sole songwriter, producer, and basically the entire band in the studio) was able to craft songs so suitable for the dancefloor, but still retaining musical interest. Was it just a clever combination of the drums (which are midi) and bass guitar, a drive of its own, or just the anthemic quality of many of the songs on the album and their melodic value? I really want to know, to me this is an interesting subject and I am hoping to put together some songs of my own in that vein.
