of Montreal's critical breakthrough Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? landed on over 30 major year end lists including Paste, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and Associated Press.

Reviews

  • Kevin Barnes shrieks and howls when the spiritmoves him, and then turns on the purr for the whisper-soft"Ooo...Ah..." background vocals, while the bubbling music has thelush feel of a Tom Moulton mix.  "Id Engager" is both satisfying on itsown and an intriguing teaser as to where of Montreal will go next.

    - Pitchfork
  • Just when your feet start to hit the sublimelysuppressive groove, the track crashes into a disorientingly dreamy shoegazecoda. It's Kevin Barnes' head -- we're all just trying to crawl inside it andhope to stay for a while.
