Skeletal Lamping is the ninth studio album by Athens, Georgia-based band of Montreal.

The album was released in different formats, including conventional CD and vinyl, as well as T-shirts, a button set, wall decals, and a paper lantern, the latter formats included a digital download code for the album itself.

[15] In an essay addressing the concept behind the album's release, Kevin Barnes stated "We feel that there’s no reason to produce another object that just sits on a shelf.

"[16] Georgie Fruit is the name of Kevin Barnes' African-American cross-dressing stage persona, similar in many ways to David Bowie's alter ego Ziggy Stardust.

[17] In a post made on the of Montreal website in September of 2020, Barnes expressed regret for the "problematic" characterization of Georgie, apologizing for giving him a race and gender other than his own in his lyrical depiction.
