Kevin Barnes, frontman from of Montreal, and Andrew Vanwyngarden, lead singer of MGMT, are going to take psychedelic rock to a new level. Their upcoming side project, Blikk Fang, is planing to head into the studio in early 2009. The two met while touring together in 2005 and 2007.

According to a recent Rolling Stone interview with Kevin Barnes, their debut LP is "probably gonna be a pretty schizophrenic, crazy album". Should we expect anything else from these two? They are planning to enlist the skills of producer Jon Brion, who has worked on projects with the likes of Kanye West, Aimee Man, Dido, Spoon, Keane, and Elliott Smith.

Barnes admitted that they have been wanting to do the project for a while, but have been waiting for both of their schedules to be clear. That might be a problem considering the success of MGMT's Oracular Spectacular and of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping, which both happen to be in the running for Music Leech Top 25 Albums of the Year (slated to come out around the new year).

Although they have "actually created about 20 minutes of music" so far, the apparent releases from Blikk Fang over at Pure Volume are nothing but outdated songs from MGMT and of Montreal and will not be on the upcoming album.
