In early 2007, Kevin Barnes and retro indie-pop outfit of Montreal will deliver a new LP, 'Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?' In the D.I.Y. spirit of independent music, they decided to give away the first single and the lyrics more than two months before you can buy it.

The track, 'Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse,' walks that fine line between credible indie and straight-up pop rock, arguably moreso than they ever have before.

'Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse' Lyrics

I'm in a crisis I need help 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 flatten my mind, chemicals don't mess me up this time
I'm always so dubious of your intent, like I can't afford to replace what you've spent

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

Chemicals don't murder my pen, Chemicals don't make me sick again
Know you bait me way more than you should
And it's just like you to hurt me when I'm feeling good
