Street_Of_Dreams Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) This band is pretty awesome, but extremely out there. Kevin Barnes is an absolute nut but he writes some awesome songs. They recently released a new album called "False Priest," I haven't heard it yet as I am still discovering there discog. "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" is easily there best album.Anyone like these guys? Even heard of them? Or are they "Too gay" for mygnr?Videos are amazing yet terrifying Edited October 8, 2010 by Street_Of_Dreams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt88 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 This band is pretty awesome, but extremely out there. Kevin Barnes is an absolute nut but he writes some awesome songs.

Or are they "Too gay" for mygnr?Videos are amazing yet terrifying I definitely gave them a chance. A LOT of people love this band. I just dont quite get the appeal. I feel like maybe they get a little more credit than they deserve. Spin magazine writers would have you believe Barnes is the new Bowie. They give off the "weird for the sake of weird" vibe. But points for at least being creative and trying something different. Like em or hate em, theyre at least unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street_Of_Dreams Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Lyrically, I think Barnes might be one of the best there is. Listen to the words on this song for crying out loud, easily there best I'm sure alot of what they do is for shock, they get weirder with every release, but I think its cool to watch them progress throughout there career. As much as I hate comparing bands to the Beatles, I think that they are partially justified in deserving that comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthisriver Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Spinning The Gay Parade right now. I've never been crazy about but I keep trying to get into them. Kevin Barnes' Penis <333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthisriver Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I forgot how much I loved Skeletal Lamping , listening now. It's nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Eyes Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I've only got Hissing Fauna but it's a great record, what would you recommend for a second? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street_Of_Dreams Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Skeletal Lamping is a very divided record- some love it and some hate it.The Sundlantic Twins is pretty solid, I'd say go for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthisriver Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Gallery Piece alone makes Skeletal Lamping good enough for me. If the rest of the record were shit - which it's not - then I would still play it for this track. <3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpqV6rmS9fw Edited October 14, 2010 by David_Bowie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 They've been the closest I've come to a "favourite band" for the past two years. I adore all their albums, in particular The Gay Parade and Hissing Fauna. I had a chance to see them last night, but all my friends are lame squares with horrible taste in music, and I didn't want to go alone.

Andrew07 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 great band, and false priest is fucking real good i would definitely give it a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'm not really sure what I think about this band...I absolutely love some of their stuff but think some is terrible. I did enjoy their latest (False Priest) a lot more than I thought I would so I'm probably gonna give their back catalogue a shot sometime.
