Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?I'm an obsessive listener, if I like something, I keep hitting the repeat button. Of Montreal is the pop band I've been stuck on lately. I saw the band perform last year in Atlanta when I was visiting my family. Their sound is late Bowie meets Prince and features enough falsetto for a dozen glam rock bands.
After testing one track from the group's new album, Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? I quickly downloaded the rest of the songs.
Link to ofmontreal.net where you can listen to 22 songs by the band.
That first song you sound download is "Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse," (yeah, that really is the song's title). The group's slick, polished sound immediately bounces into place, setting a kinetic synth staccato foundation for a brilliant song about chasing depression away with, um, pharmaceuticals.
I'm in a crisis, I need helpCome on mood, shift back to good againCome on be a friend,Come on chemicals, be my friend, shift my mood back to good again....
Of Montreal offers a Glam-meets-New Wave sound that isn't a bit retro. This is music infused with nostalgic thoughts for the unremembered 80s, a glamorous glue binding a few cultural movements into a new one. Songs this delightful, this confessional, this psychosexual, this profoundly blithe will get your brain dancing, but may leave your feet confused.
Don't even have a second thought about it, download this one.
