This album just gets better and better the more you listen to it. Hands down one of the best albums released this year!!

[@SEBsixsixsix]

so true!

Yes

[@IsssaKnife]

Kaputt will forever be my favorite album, I'll always be a fan for Dan's music

[@scottieray]

Kaput is an album that accompanies me on my road trips. Destroyer and Beach House are ace for road trip getting lost in daydreaming and parallel culture

CRIMINALLY underrated!

[@jonathanhesse4972]

The cinematography and framing is really captivating.

[@b33gft67]

This song is incredible.

[@EliHernandezy808]

Still flying in this myriad of 80’s inspired synth rock. God bless you Dan and the boys. Can’t wait for the concert in Texas.

[@SteveMaviano]

Been having a hard time listening to the Purple Mountains LP since the loss of David Berman, but this Destroyer song evokes the same emotion that the PM album did for me. It's dark, lonely, and sad, but at the same time just heartwarming and beautiful. Can't wait to hear more!

[@franciscocastrovidela9007]

Same here.

[@cward1890]

I’d love to hear about their recording together at Dan’s studio. I heard David spent a few months in Vancouver

@@cward1890 Thanks, hadn't heard that one so checked it out and love it.

[@manopeace9175]

"Purple Mountains LP" Thanks for the music recommendation. Its how artists can live forever, people forever discovering what was made during their short stay on this rock. Peace

[@lockedherselfout]

"I know how you blow... bubbles" Oh, Dan lmfaooooooo

[@DanDevey]

Still come back to this after I find myself humming it in my head every now and then. Brilliant tune.

[@Mmxxaamm]

Best record of 2020 hands down

[@EDEEB7]

“Thought I was smart; I’m not”. That sums me up accurately. Fantastic track! Thanks so much!

[@donjon9236]

One of the best lyricist ever

[@EDEEB7]

@@donjon9236 absolutely agreed

[@SpookyApparition]

Even though half the time my reaction is "wtf?", I love listening to Bejar's lyrics unfold. I never know how he's going to finish a line, much more so than most artists.

[@patrick764]

I just discovered this band today. The lyrics are so incredibly unexpected and intelligent. Will definitely buy the album in real life.

[@saurabhjaiswal4497]

Then listen Kaputt. You will have a great day 😊

[@TheMusikryder]

Album is brilliant!

[@fairdesful]

I'm not normally one to play songs on repeat but I'm on my 5th listen in a row. 30 minutes of pure aural bliss.

[@patrick764]

Same.

[@letmetellyousomething123]

Multi layered brilliance.

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

Such an underrated band. Only 3 thousand subscribers? Dayum!

[@bernhardsart]

So True!!!!

[@thusano2]

Can I just say, from the bottom of my heart the depths of my fucking soul, I've been listening to Destroyer for so long now. Even back in the New pornographer days, I love that band but the Bejar cuts always spoke to me. I'm a little Canadian Fuck boi, I grew on the opposite side of the Country that's Dans from staring out at the Atlantic ocean in Labrador no less. And without meandering and getting to oversentimental it makes me so happy, to picture this poet on the other side of this land slab scheming up these crazy irreverent musings. And I get super inspired by this band, it's what I'm listening to when I'm churning my own art when I'm writing when I'm creating when I'm in drunk in the rain at the park or at the pier you feel me. I can't wait for this album, it's all of have to look forward to next year.

[@ButNotTonight]

If he's gonna be bringing this sonic aesthetic for the whole album then I think the tour will be dope. Just remembering how they reworked old songs for the Kaputt tour makes me extremely excited for it!

[@BonhamsBongo]

Can't wait to see him this May!

[@spare1981]

Sorry this is a late reply, but I love your music! So happy to see you here

[@anouk6362]

I have seen them in the Netherlands! and I was completely blown away! How good they are live and I am so happy with new music

[@BerserksEclipse]

I love Destroyer ♥️ There’s nothing else quite like them. They lyrics, the auditory aesthetic...just wow. My love for this band is just 💖💖 I love all Destroyer, new and old, but the Kaputt album is easily my favorite. Crimson Tide definitely has a “Bay of Pigs” type feel to it and IM HERE FOR IT. Bay of Pigs, Kaputt, and Downtown were my favorite off the last record so... 😊 I’m a happy camper

[@megaSALEMGUYify]

"the last record"? dude has released two albums since kaputt lol

[@TheRaybouldBrothers]

Dan is simply one of the best songwriters on Earth.

[@parkerspoonlock7864]

#1 favorite song ~ Crimson Tide. #2 favorite ~ Hi Ren.

[@hemi969]

Heard this on, National Radio, NZ. Love it.

[@evanpincus2203]

Saw him do this live at a solo show back in may and had a feeling it'd be a new Destroyer classic. Glad my feeling was right. Already this record's shaping up to be a step back up from the (still delightful) Ken

[@lucassandoe2883]

Tight hug

[@stephentaylor6320]

Genius!!

[@RyanCoomer]

This is the only New music I have let myself listen to. I am not ashamed.

[@bigbadbuckinboots]

Always check my notifications just in case Destroyer releases a new video for an upcoming album release and today was the day I was rewarded with 'Crimson Tide' - and what a reward! More old-school Destroyer lyrics with a big hint o' 'Bay Of Pigs' but NOW with even more pop culture references per minute than ever before. Love Dan Bejar and his music, he has never let me down. Thank you.

[@newagain9964]

New album out.

[@deneenwilliams166]

This song rocks my soul!

A new discovery. Bloody brilliant!🌞🌛🙂

[@Koshirozation]

" I was like the laziest river A vulture predisposed to eating off floors No wait, I take that back I was more like an ocean Stuck inside hospital corridors My condition in general Despite what they say, improves So I could care less on a night like this I’m on the lookout for anything that moves Crimson tide I know when to hold 'em And I know when to leave I know where to go And I know how to breathe I know how you blow Bubbles You can look at the world Til you don’t know what you done You can follow a salary to the bottom of the ocean Is that yours? Throw it in the pond I thought I was smart I’m not I thought I was sick and dying Chicken-shit singers Paying their dues A circus mongrel sniffing for clues You watch the blonde make mincemeat of the brunette An actress pays her debt To Satan again and again I said I don’t know Just ‘cause A child coos sweet nothings to a box of fuzz He’s not a child He’s twenty-five He’s never felt so alive Crimson tide One more dead rich runaway Who gives a shit? Must be nice, must be the rain When lightning strikes twice The funeral goes completely insane The funeral’s insane The funeral’s insane The funeral’s insane Vicious stampede A vile promenade But in china teacups Two fools find love Back at Hotel Paral·lel Hysteria, I can feel it She says "Get into the zone" The zone is brimstone and wire You open your mouth To watch your teeth shudder At the mirror At the clutter Crimson tide"

[@zzRider]

Thank you for typing the lyrics.

Such beauty, as always.

[@hervetrepant9544]

Personally, without any comparison, the complete album makes me feel in the same mood that Lloyd & the commotions ( 1st period) and New Order or Revenge with the Pop atmophere. Greatings to Destroyer !

Fatty Boombalatty, this is so weird. This song came on autoplay, and about a minute in, I thought of Severed Heads! Then I thought of something like "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart, then I was just kind of confused, then I just decided to enjoy the song 😋 then I read the lyrics another comment left (I like the lyrics), then I saw your comment, and realized we must have been listening and thinking of Severed Heads AT THE SAME TIME (Twilight Zone theme) 🤯
