Their next album marked an even more drastic change from their folk-styled roots. ''Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?'' was created almost entirely by Kevin Barnes to cope with psychological issues he was experiencing at the time, and featured enough LyricalDissonance to make [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion "Komm Susser Todd"]] sound like [[Music/TheBeatles "Hey Jude"]]. It also gave birth to Barnes' {{alter ego|Acting}}, a CampGay black {{Transvestite}} GlamRock star named [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Georgie Fruit]]. The next two albums, ''Skeletal Lamping'' and ''False Priest'', both were predominantly written from the viewpoint and continued the bass-heavy pop sound of the previous album.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Demo collection ''The Early Four-Track Recordings'' - the track names are all {{Long Title}}s that, when read in order, present a story about Creator/DustinHoffman having surreal misadventures while trying to take a bath. None of this has anything to do with the album's content, and the songs originally didn't have any proper titles.
