Posted on | June 25, 2007 | No Comments
Of Montreal is getting ready to release it’s next single from the critically acclaimed “Hissing Fauna, You Are the Destroyer” very soon. We are all very excited to share it with you – or if you just can’t wait – jump on over to hank today and check out the whole album!!
The praise continues to build for our good friends – here are a few interesting comments on their latest work -
“This time Of Montreal’s music revolves around a staple of loners in studios: synthesizers, used mostly for synth-pop that looks back to the 1970s and 1980s but is warped with shifty structures and skipped beats that could trip up unwary dancers. The album’s centerpiece is the 12-minute “The Past Is a Grotesque Animal”, pulsating steadily in a spiral of self-laceration. Manic pop and depressive revelations have rarely been so closely bonded.” -NY TIMES
“It’s clear that Barnes is one of indie rock’s most gifted songwriters.” [4.5/5 STARS] -ALTERNATIVE PRESS
“Though its Studio 54 flittering and Barry Gibb-borrowed falsettos may suggest otherwise, Fauna is Of Montreal?s first heartbroken record, an inexorable comedown from years spent gleefully raping the muses.” –MAGNET
“Of Montreal knows a thing or two about pop hooks that dig into your soft matter and won’t let go.” -LA TIMES
