Not one to leave any style unturned, Of Montreal also delves into funk and disco on the groove-oriented "Gronlandic Edit" and fuzzed-out "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider." Easily one of the group's most assured albums, Hissing Fauna epitomizes Barnes's boldly eclectic yet surprisingly cohesive sound.(RS)
