With lines like, “physics makes us all its bitches,” and music that would make David Bowie and David Byrne proud, Hissing Fauna, Are The Destroyer? is a hit. At first listen the latest from Of Montreal seems a bit chaotic, but this all comes together when you add the lyrics. This album is a great representation of the brain behind the band. In previous albums Kevin Barnes has always used characters to tell his stories, but this album digs deep into what he has gone through in the past few years. He was separated from his wife and then consequently his new born daughter.
            In this album Barnes lets his emotions poor out into a powerful mix of sorrow and resentment. The music in itself is an extremely complex combination of electronic and rock and roll. In many cases while producing this type of music it can be easy to go overboard, but Barnes and company do a fantastic job of keeping the listener’s attention while not overloading them with too much going on.
The layers of voices and different instruments give the same great Of Montreal sound as in previous albums, but with the emotion of Barnes lyrics this is one of the best. Hissing Fauna, Are The Destroyer? is out on vinyl and cd now. The LP comes with a free download of the album so you can still put it on your computer. The vinyl comes with an extra four tracks.
