111. Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are you the destroyer? 2007

im a little surprised this album hasn't been mentioned, this album was my introduction to Of Montreal and from what ive heard from fans of the band is among their best work.

At first it took me awhile to get into their sound which is like Indie psychedelic pop a genre i never liked before but something their song arrangements keep me intrigued in the band.

Kevin Barnes vocals have like a super sonic quality to them that just blend with the cheery sometimes irreverent mood of the album.
Track wise this album is diverse and experimental yet consistently good and the tracks you didn't like at first (in my case 'Cato as a pun') pretty soon became your favorites after you get used to the sound of the band.

I love this Album and constantly recommend it to ppl who never heard Of Montreal and most times they end up loving it too.
