There are the essential albums that need to be in everyone's collection. There are the personal favorites, the ones that aren't highly acclaimed but still get played every once in a while. And then there are the albums that you stick in the back of your collection because you want to forget that you spent money on them. "Own It or Disown It" gives the writer the opportunity to look at such discarded albums and determine if they are diamonds in the rough or if they deserve to be used as mini-frisbees. [...]

#2 Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, are you the Destroyer? Vicissitudes boxed Kevin Barnes' head, back in the day. He recorded that shit, too. Fuck me, it took a long time to get to this point and I still don't really know what to write about this delirious, unleashed, fucking hot-mess of an album. I swear to God, [...]
The New Classics is a reoccurring segment in which we examine our favorite indie releases that are bound to replace our parent's "classic rock" stash hidden in the attic or the basement. These aren't reviews, these are uneditied testimonies and opinions about why we love what we love. Can we get a witness? Words by Brendan Sullivan Album: Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? Artist: of Montreal Released: January 23, 2007 Label: Polyvinyl [...]
It's only been ten days since these weirdoes graced us with some brand new music from their upcoming tenth studio album "False Priest". Back then I said that I loved the song in question "Coquet Coquette" , and this follows suit quite delightfully. It's not like the former, it's more synthetic and electronic, compared to the former's more guitar-orientated structure. This one plods along rather daintily visiting some points of soul along the way. "False Priest" is due out on September 14th via Polyvinyl. of Montreal - "Hydra Fancies" [...]
"False Priest", album number ten for of Montreal, is fast approaching (September 14th, via Polyvinyl) and in the run-up to the album they've done what most bands are doing these days, and that's releasing a few songs either for free or to radio stations to promote the album. This new song was found just lounging around the interwebs until someone found it and gave it to the masses (I'm gonna thank Stereogum), and here it is for you. I have to say I love it, and of Montreal can really blow hot and cold for me. I loved [...]
when we really should be writing our theses, sheela and i have spent much time instead listening to of montreal , amusing ourselves with george bataille 's cameo on the epic "the past is a grotesque animal" and marveling at the vaudevillian absurdity of the "heimdalsgate like a promethean curse" video, both from last year's emotionally draining indie-disco-pop breakthrough hissing fauna, are you the destroyer? . the band has come a long way from its early lo-fi pop to becoming one of the last-standing elephant six bands still alive and kicking in the scene. their [...]
Did you know that Of Montreal released an EP on January 23rd, the same days they released Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer ? Don't feel bad if you didn't; most of us were too obsessed with Hissing Fauna to notice anything else that week. The EP, called Icons, Abstract Thee is a collection of b-sides to Fauna and one exclusive track. While it's not quite on par with Fauna , it offers the same gloomy lyrics and poppy beats that you fell in love with two months ago, and makes an [...]
All week I've been thinking about doing some type of January retrospective. But then I realized that that would be a lot of writing. So last night I fired up GIMP and threw this together. It's just a mashup-wallpaper of some of the albums that I listened to the most during January. They didn't necessarily come out in January, but they did chew up a good chunk of my time. Even though it makes me a little dizzy if I look at it too fast, I'm pretty happy with the end result. The wallpaper is optimized for my [...]
Nachhaltig ratlos lässt mich of Montreal nach dem ersten Durchhören von "Hissing fauna, are you the destroyer?" zurück. Ein bißchen fühle ich mich jetzt wie in einer Disco im Hochsauerland, späte 70er. Mit 'ner Whiskey-Cola in der Hand und verflucht nah an der Tanzfläche. Mich überzeugt das Ganze nicht, glaube ich. Aber auch nicht wirklich schlecht, oder?
