Record Review: Destroyer – Kaputt

I’ve listened to the new Destroyer LP – Kaputt –  on nearly a daily basis for the last 6 weeks… and it’s sure to be on my 2011 Favorites List.

I really enjoy the “slinky” grooves that run throughout it, and Dan Bejar’s open lyrics worm their way into my head for hours after.
It’s simply beautiful.

Bejar talks about the album in a recent AV Club interview – including the readily heard Bryan Ferry/Brian Eno influences.  You can read it here.

Here’s the title track…  The Roxy Music influence is also seen in the starting minute of the video.

It’s a song for America… Who knew?

Dan Bejar will be bringing his “8-piece orchestra” to High Noon Saloon on Monday, April 11 2011…  I’ll be there for sure!  Hope you are too.
