Started and driven by the uniquely brilliant Kevin Barnes, Of Montreal emerged from the second wave of Atlanta Georgia's Elephant 6 collective in the late 90's, debuting with Cherry Peel on Bar/None in 1997. A slew of prolific output followed, highlighted by 1999's The Gay Parade and 2005's The Sunlandic Twins before Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? (2007) was the band's first to break the Billboard's 100. Skeletal Lamping - Of Monreal's ninth album - was released the following year.
