Of Montreal - A Sentence Of Sorts In Kongsvinger
Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
2007
In which the Athens oddballs prove they're not completely smart arse and glib. The bubbly bass and slapstick synths should give me further tooth decay. Yet this track is a joy, grounded by the very real pain of frontman Kevin Barnes, recently separated from his wife and in a deep depression. The patheticness of self loathing is neatly summed up in the first verse:

I spent the winter on the verge of a total breakdown, while living in Norway. I felt the darkness of the black metal bands, but being such a fawn of a man I didn't burn down any churches. Just slept too much, just slept.

This track is like a warm blanket full of snuggly Beatles harmonies. I wouldn't wish pain on anyone but it inspires the best art, no?
