Of Montreal’s 8th full legnth album, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? was released on Tuesday.

Here’s what Polyvinyl has to say about the album, “It’s an irresistible and remarkable album, sounding like a logical extension of the erratic indie-disco sounds of The Sunlandic Twins. However, Hissing Fauna is also the most personal of Montreal album to date, with Kevin Barnes, lead of Montreal songwriter, pouring tremendous amounts of emotion, heartbreak, frustration and elation into its twelve tracks.”

Toronto Indie-Folkers Rock Plaza Central just signed to Yep Roc Records, and will release Are We Not Horses April 17th. Here’s a conversation we recently overhead:

Guy A:  Could these guys rip off Neutral Milk Hotel a littler harder? I mean, it may be physically impossible, but maybe they could try. Fuck, Jeff Magnum should sue these nerds.

Guy B:  Really? I’ve never heard of them.

Guy A:  Listen to Neutral Milk Hotel when you least feel like it, and you’ve heard them.
