New of Montreal Video - "Gronlandic Edit"

Sailors and strippers, Kevin trying to chose a God, and illustrations of the church being "full of losers" (Cheney, Falwell, and a skeletor Pope amongst others, in oM's estimation) -- just some of the fun in of Montreal's animated ode to Barnes's existential angst. We fully expect a glut of Gummys votes for Hissing Fauna...; let the rainbow harmonied/bass vamped "Gronlandic Edit" serve as adequate reminder. Produced by David Barnes and Nico Danger. Kevin wrestling with questions of the divine...

Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? is out on Polyvinyl.

My favorite part is the hugging monkey and dog.
Actually, my favorite part is the whole fucking thing. Pass the shrooms>

a true testament to of Montreal's cover art!

Can't say which one is most random, at least the part of the screenshot - with all the gods and church filled with loser - had something to do with the song. After that it all went down the other road. Laughed the hardest when the deer/monkey got it going on!

Man... those Barnes brothers must do a LOT of drugs.
I mean, that might be a bit obvious, but damn.

well...that was trippy. the song is amazing though. scratch that, all of hissing fauna is amazing, minus the overly long and pretentious song "The Past is a Grotesque Animal".

This song always starts the party. Might be the best album of the year.
