Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
Of Montreal
The writing process took place during a time of mental health struggles. This led to a confessional style that remains clear on the long centerpiece, The Past Is A Grotesque Animal. It serves as an exploration of a crumbling relationship.
Danceable hooks disguise the painful subject matter found in the lyrics. The band captures the specific spirit of the Athens scene by merging catchy melodies with complex emotions. It is a work that highlights how difficult topics can exist inside accessible and upbeat rhythms.
