Of Montreal Artist Snapshot:

Arguably the breakout band of Athens, Georgia's "Elephant 6" collective, Of Montreal is essentially Floridian songwriter Kevin Barnes plus an assorted collection of backing artists. Mining the melodic, mildly psychedelic vein of the WHITE ALBUM-era Beatles, Barnes composes striking short-form tone poems that, despite some rather downcast lyrics, manage to be catchy, upbeat, and utterly unique. Barnes's 2007 release, HISSING FAUNA, ARE YOU THE DESTROYER, his musical chronicle of a depressive episode, topped many critics' best-of lists.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.70) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] ranges from Kinks-y rock to New Wave to disco, with dashes of the whimsical psychedelia that typically infuses the band's sound."
Rolling Stone (p.115) - Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Top Albums of the Year 2007".
Spin (p.85) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Kevin Barnes' pleasantly nasal voice...harmonizes on nearly every track..."
Q (p.115) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "HISSING FAUNA...comes on like Arcade Fire meeting the Scissor Sisters in rehab hell, and heralds the emergence of a major talent."
Uncut (p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "HISSING FAUNA...posits its creator as the missing link between Hot Chip and Morrissey."
Alternative Press (p.115) - "With this completely progressive and mature effort, it's clear that Barnes is one of indie rock's most gifted songwriters."
Magnet (p.104) - "FAUNA is Of Montreal's first heartbroken record....The emotional gravitas only lends heft to the group's exhilarating, ever-present sugar high."
CMJ (p.41) - "Beginning with a potential pop anthem, complete with screeching close-knit harmonies, bouncy guitars and synths, the band tricks listeners into a dark, psychedelic and mind-blowing musical experience."

Title Note

Of Montreal: Kevin Barnes.

On 2007's HISSING FAUNA, ARE YOU THE DESTROYER?, the ever-prolific Athens, Georgia-based act Of Montreal--essentially vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Kevin Barnes and a loose cadre of musicians--unveils another gleefully quirky indie-pop outing. While the hard-driving opener, "Suffer for Fashion," nods to glam rock and New Wave, the following "Sink the Seine" shows the influence of both electronica and Beatle-esque psychedelia, calling to mind the Canadian artist Caribou. Not one to leave any style unturned, Of Montreal also delves into funk and disco on the groove-oriented "Gronlandic Edit" and fuzzed-out "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider." Easily one of the group's most assured albums, HISSING FAUNA epitomizes Barnes's boldly eclectic yet surprisingly cohesive sound.
