Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?
“Of Montreal's darkest and most experimental record to date, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer gorily chronicles frontman Kevin Barnes' recent relationship woes, all while rebuilding the band as a mechanical synth-pop/glam hybrid.”
Satanic Panic in the Attic
“For whatever reason, psych-pop seems more prone to reductive descriptions than most other genres. For critics, it's all too easy: Just state the bandname and album title, discuss the intensity of the lead songwriter's Brian Wilson fixation, and critique him based on the effectiveness with which his band approximates *Pet Sounds*. For extra points, drop words like "hallucinogenic" or "sun-drenched"”
Lousy with Sylvianbriar
“of Montreal's latest record sees the band stripping things back to some pretty base instrumentation, resulting in a sound that's pretty similar to the band's early work.”
Icons, Abstract Thee - EP
“Rather than coming across like a set of castoffs from this year's outstanding Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, this tour EP instead reads like the condensed version of its parent album's themes and sound.”
Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies: A Variety of Whimsical Verse
“Will you hold me? I'm scared. It's not that I'm easily frightened. I can sit through the most gruesome horror movie, happily munching away on imitation butter-flavored popcorn while small intestines are strewn about the screen. I can watch news stories about mad cow disease while devouring sheep's brain soufflé. But listening to the latest Of Montreal record, all I can do is curl up in a ball, smi”
Ur Fun
“It’s the first album in years that Kevin Barnes has recorded on his own”
