About this album
Barnes has described the album as a concept album, detailing his transformation from Kevin Barnes into Georgie Fruit. The transformation takes place during “The Past Is a Grotesque Animal,” the 12-minute long “turning point” of the album. In addition, the album namechecks many things commonly associated with glam rock, such as drugs, art and fashion; “The Past Is a Grotesque Animal” alludes to Edward Albee’s play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and specifically mentions Georges Bataille’s novel Histoire de l’oeil.
Barnes credits his being prescribed antidepressants with the making of the album. “The real issue was a chemical thing, so when I finally got on medication, that balanced it out. So that helped me have a better perspective on things and helped my relationship with my wife and helped me through the album.” “Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse”, the album’s first single, chronicles his struggle with chemical imbalance and mood disorders.

mforti04 Epic! The magic of this chef-d'oeuvre is still working after all these years... Damn "we need to talk about Kevin", find a strategy to squeeze him and get some more of this stuff out of him!

Captain_Waffles that depressing moment when you listen to Hissing Fauna and realize within the first minute that no other of Montreal albums are nearly quite as good. Not that the other ones aren't good or anything

MrMorizon I feel this is the Highway 61 Revisited of our times. I have the same feeling as ppl in the 60s had about said record: "This is hilarious. This is impossible, it is just TOO GOOD."
