    Here's the thing about destroyer's new album. It's good. It's not great, but it's good. Personally, I find the album to be kind of one note. There is a carefree stride throughout this album, and it will keep you listening for a while. Standout tracks are suicide demo for kara walker and the album title. Also, the sax is awesome, but is ruined because he puts it in every goddamn song.

  1. This is how the pleasure principle feels to an alienated unbeliever resigned to engaging the world on his own perverse terms.

    It's unique and warm and beautiful, as love letters are supposed to be.

    Dan Bejar's surprising mix of slinky '80s soft rock and sophisticated disco. [July 2011, p. 106]
