Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse

About Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse

"Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse" was the first single released by Polyvinyl Records from Of Montreal's 2007 album Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?. Like the rest of the album, the song was written, performed and recorded by Kevin Barnes. "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse" was also released as a music video directed by The Brothers Chaps. The song opens up with a Roland Jupiter 8 bass into a lead made with a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, along with A Linn Drum and an electric piano the quirky electronics give the song a 1985 feel. In an early review of the song, posted shortly after the leak of the album in September 2006, Pitchfork Media's Andy Dubbin describes it as "one of the more breakneck, 'old Of Montreal'-styled songs on an otherwise discofunk-lite album, bringing proper attention to itself without overextending its theme." more »

I'm in a crisis, I need help
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on be a friend

Nina Twin is trying to help, and I
Really hope that she succeeds
Though I picked the thorny path myself
I'm afraid, afraid of where it leads

Chemicals, don't strangle my pen
Chemicals don't make me sick again
I'm always so dubious of your intent
Like I can't afford to replace what you've spent

Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals

Nina Twin is trying to help, and I
Really hope she gets me straight
'Cause my own inner cosmology
Has become too dense to navigate

I'm in a crisis, I need help
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on be a friend
Come on be a friend

Two, three, four

Chemicals, don't flatten my mind
Chemicals, don't mess me up this time
Know you bait me way more than you should
And it's just like you to hurt me when I'm feeling good

Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals

Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals

Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals

The band is one of the bands of the Elephant 6 collective. Throughout its existence, of Montreal's musical style has evolved from vaudeville and Beatles-influenced psychedelic twee pop to a mixture of electronica, funk, glam, and afrobeat music influenced by Prince and David Bowie. more »
