Recommended Listening: Destroyer – Kaputt
I havn’t always been a Destroyer fan but Dan Bejar’s new album is absolutely incredible. It won’t sound that unfamiliar to you if you’re a fan of the New Pornagraphers as he’s been singing with Carl Newman for years.
Filled with dreamy synth pads, misplaced saxophones, and the hush whisper of Mr. Bejar’s voice I just can’t stop listening to it.
Most Destroyer records take a bit of time to get used to, but this is as welcoming as it is different. The record has hybrid mix of drum pads that evolve into real recorded drums then back to pads. Topped with reverby guitars and yes again, that dang saxophone!
I don’t claim to understand everything Bejar’s is doing, I’m just starting to become obsessed with it. Maybe it’s because I was born in the 80′s, or maybe it’s because the record is just that dang good.
Listen to Chinatown and buy this album…like now!
Jerm!
I agree with this wholeheartedly. I still can’t tell the difference between the other Destroyer albums, so I’d kinda built up a prejudice, but this album grabbed me immediately.
