Of Montreal - Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse Live Performance at Pygmalion Fest

Venue: The Canopy Club Location: Urbana, Illinois, United States Date: September 23, 2006

In September 2006, Of Montreal had recently released their album 'Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?' which came out in January of that year. This live recording from the Pygmalion Festival showcases the band at a pivotal moment where they were beginning to gain significant underground popularity. The song 'Chemicals!'—originally titled 'Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse'—exemplifies the band's eclectic blend of indie pop and experimental sounds that wowed audiences. Interestingly, this release showcased a slightly darker and more introspective lyrical style compared to their earlier work, reflecting the band's evolving artistry. The energy at The Canopy Club, along with Kevin Barnes' charismatic stage presence, truly encapsulates where they were in their journey: breaking boundaries and capturing the hearts of their fans with their unique sound.
