Of Montreal are set to travel the nation in support of their forthcoming album, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? (out Jan. 23; listen here), and you could win a pair of tickets to witness the psychedelic spectacle (see below). Ever the vaudevillians, the band has put together a veritable variety act to go along with their whimsical verses. “The live show we’ve prepared for this tour is the most ambitious and complex one we’ve ever attempted,” frontman Kevin Barnes told SPIN.com. “We have three projection screens, a giant animal for me to climb inside of, a ten-foot high dress that I sing in, tons of fabulous costume changes and then, of course, some freaky sexualien music for the handsome peoples of this fair country to fall in love and move their bodies to.” A ten-foot high dress? Sounds like Barnes is willing to make like the first track of Hissing Fauna, and “Suffer for Fashion.”
