(180g, Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDark experimental album that hits all the right notes.\u003c\/i\u003e Originally released in 2007, \u003cem\u003eHissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?\u003c\/em\u003e was a concept album that detailed lead singer \u003cstrong\u003eKevin Barnes'\u003c\/strong\u003e transformation into \u003cstrong\u003eGeorgie Fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, an alter ego created by Barnes to chronicle his then recent personal and relationship woes. The album is full of dark themes, harshly depicting breakup psychology while remaining relentlessly catchy as an almost mechanical synth-pop \/ glam band hybrid. Rather than treat the despair of loneliness and breakup with moody acoustic guitar ballads, Barnes goes headlong into his vulnerability with songs like the monolithic 12-minute \"The Past Is a Grotesque Animal\". Other songs to check out include the funky-fied \"Gronlandic Edit,\" \"Faberge Falls For Shuggie,\" or the wailing new-wave action of \"She's a Rejecter.\" Throughout the album the melodies are instantly appealing, full of mechanized rhythms and synthesizer swirls. In many ways, Georgie Fruit is in the same vein as \u003cstrong\u003eZiggy Stardust\u003c\/strong\u003e, the album takes a direction many fans might not have imagined it would take, but \u003cem\u003eHissing Fauna\u003c\/em\u003e is a fascinating album that will have you close to the table for repeat listens. 17 tracks in all, pressed on red and yellow 180g vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve. Comes with printed lyric and art sheet, and includes a download code for the album + live videos of “She’s a Rejecter” and “Faberge” filmed at the Avalon in Los Angeles.
