Our Take

Of Montreal's "Hissing Fauna. Are You The Destroyer?" is a technicolour trip through the whimsical mind of frontman Kevin Barnes. This red/yellow vinyl release is a visual treat, as vibrant as the music contained within.

From the opening track "Suffer For Fashion," it's clear that this album is a wild ride. With chaotic instrumentation, Barnes' falsetto vocals float atop the madness like a musical sherpa guiding us through the psychedelic landscape.

Tracks like "Gronlandic Edit" and "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse" showcase Barnes' knack for crafting infectious pop hooks with a twist of lyrical eccentricity. It's like listening to a musical version of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - but with more synth.

The emotional core of the album is laid bare on tracks like "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal," where Barnes delves into the darker corners of his psyche. It's a raw and vulnerable moment amidst the kaleidoscopic chaos, reminding us that even in the midst of madness, there is still room for introspection.

Overall, "Hissing Fauna. Are You The Destroyer?" is a testament to Of Montreal's ability to push boundaries and challenge conventions. It's a sonic journey that will leave you both exhausted and exhilarated, like riding a rollercoaster made of glitter and existential dread. Don't miss out on this psychedelic gem.
