Of Montreal: Two new albums in January, extensive tour planned
Of Montreal have fans excited about their extensive '07 tour. With over fifty shows booked between January and April, of Montreal will share the stage with A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Enon, Elekibass, Grand Buffet, Pigeon John, and Loney, Dear.
Of Montreal will be releasing Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? on January 23 through Polyvinyl Records, just five months after their last album was dropped. Their label describes Hissing Fauna:
"Written and recorded primarily during what he calls 'an insane year,' Hissing Fauna sees [Jeremy] Barnes adopt a new writing style. It’s an unabashedly autobiographical attempt from a songwriter whose early material tended towards characters and story-songs. Barnes continues down the whimsical pop funk path, while changing up its lyrical scope; and Hissing Fauna balances its poppy nature while showcasing brutal and unflinching honesty."
An EP called Icons, Abstract Thee will be sold during the tour, and will be offered as a dual package with Hissing Fauna mail orders. Counting EPs, 7" singles, and LPs, Icons will mark of Montreal's 23rd release since their debut in 1997.
The extensive tour will support the January 23 dual release of Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? and Icons, Abstract Thee. Listen to the Hissing Fauna album stream.
