Destroyer- Kaputt


Destroyer brings some really interesting music to the table. Daniel Bejar’s vocals are really light and airy and almost a little weak, but the backup vocals he does provide some real depth. The music itself is really synthpop jazzy with a good use of sax and other horns throughout most of the tracks. There is also a really interesting use of rock guitar in most of the songs. When listening to the final track, titled "Bay of Pigs," I pictured in my head a tamed version of Bill Pullman playing saxophone at the bar in David Lynch's 1997 film Lost Highway.  The album flows well. It would be a bummer for someone to miss out on Destroyer’s Kaputt. The album has a strong and complete sound, a breath of fresh air.




Final Review- 90
