Feb 9, 2020More often than not Destroyer's poeticism is what's carrying the songs on this latest album. The backing instrumentals are kind of hit or miss otherwise. But if your'e looking for a sort of episodic love story rich with details and hidden meanings to unpack left and right then I highly recommend giving this one a shot.

Jan 31, 2020The only thing consistent about Destroyer’s releases; they’re always great. Another inspiring addition to the Dan Bejar and co’s wonderful and diverse discography.

Feb 20, 2020It's only after several listens that the album's wholeness clarifies. Because the tracks tend to be downtempo, reflective, and downright sleepy, it takes time and patience to realize Bejar is working like a good storyteller.

Feb 14, 2020Have We Met is one of Bejar’s most interesting so far. But the grating oh-so-indie-look-at-me lyrics bash against the beauty of the beats. Maybe, just maybe, Destroyer should focus on soundtracks from now on.

Feb 5, 2020The result is a markedly retro-futurist sound, from the OMD-ish ‘Kinda Dark’ to ‘It Just Doesn’t Happen’, the synth line on which sounds suspiciously similar to a new wave rendition of Salt-N-Pepa’s ‘Push It’. At times, the music veers so close to kitsch that it may very well alienate some listeners from the get-go. Bejar’s songwriting remains as deft, cryptic and mosaic as ever though.
