Hissing Fauna is NOT the Destroyer













Last Monday, I conducted a brief interview with Of Montreal frontman and rising indie-pop darling Kevin Barnes via telephone, as he was then in Oklahoma at a stop in the band's current tour. I was told that I had ten minutes to conduct the on-air interview. I totally took fifteen. BOO-YAH! Over the course of those minutes, a largely uninterested/uninteresting Barnes and I chatted about Prince and his phallic guitar, the recent success of the band, the new album, and of course, the Outback Steakhouse commerical (much to Kevin's chagrin). Anyways, for those of you that missed it, you can download it here.

If you're interested, check out the new album, "Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?" out now on Polyvinyl (and in XYC's playbox), and don't forget the band's stop in Chapel Hill on Monday, March 5 at the Cat's Cradle.
