Shameless Plays: Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? [Of Montreal]

"There's the girl that left me bitter, won't you pay some other girl to just walk up to her and hit her," Oh Yeah!

Today's release of Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? features 12 songs done in the typical dance party on the verge of a catfight style that only Of Montreal can pull off. This follow-up to their 2005 hit The Sunlandic Twins (which featured Requiem for O.M.M.Z and Wraith Pinned To The Mist and Other Games that had us all having "bizarre celebrations") is a little darker and I dare say even a little funkier. This is being called a concept album due to frontman Kevin Barnes having created an alter-ego (a large black transvestite named Georgie Fruit - For some reason Big Momma's House popped in my head?) while putting together the record.

Perhaps we'll see Georgie Fruit "Suffering for Fashion" during the big Of Montreal invasion hitting LA this weekend! Oh and yes..."The Past Is a Grotesque Animal."
