    Using different sounds to create the same tune over and over, Bejar and Destroyer create the feeling of a tale told again and again by different people. It's a haunting effect, well worth its unusual frame.

    There may only be two songs here, but Bejar does a lot with them. He gives us both the clever tricks we expect from him and a whole new sound in which for them to swirl around.
  3. Pitchfork

    I'd assume Bay of Pigs' disco diversion to be just that in the long run, but after the relatively wagon-gathering summary of "Trouble in Dreams," this certainly feels like a break and, perhaps, the first blush of something new. Cheers to that.
