Of Montreal is coming to your town

How awesome is Of Montreal's Hissing Fauna album? Are you sickly obsessed or what? Yes yes, I absolutely am. The album should be the soundtrack of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim time. It is so yellow, green and red with a streak of black. It is an energizer bunny on crack. It belongs to no genre but I would like to call it "manic at the disco."

I think this album is interesting in that the first time you listen to it, it is far more digestible than the previous Of Montreal albums, which may make you think that it is more mainstream. Yet it is not. It is just as absurd and experimental yet a lot more personal and personable. The album is flourished with instrumental madness and Kevin Barnes sounds like your gossiping whimsical friend. (oh not to mention some of the depressingly ballad-like songs on this album that makes you think, Kevin, who hurt you so bad???)

And aren't we dying to see them live? Ohhh yess yess, here comes the good news!!!! They are kicking off their world tour in the fall and are probably coming to a concert venue near you.

More info about the tour for the detail oriented ones: (Yes they are they are coming to Boston they areeeee!!!!!!!! Wheeeee, October 12th it is! At the Roxy that is!)
