Destroyer annoncerer nyt album
20. oktober vender Destroyer tilbage med albummet ken.
Destroyer’s Dan Bejar udtaler følgende om sit tolvte studiealbum med den gådefulde titel:
Sometime last year, I discovered that the original name for “The Wild Ones” (one of the great English-language ballads of the last 100 years or so) was “Ken.” I had an epiphany, I was physically struck by this information. In an attempt to hold on to this feeling, I decided to lift the original title of that song and use it for my own purposes. It’s unclear to me what that purpose is, or what the connection is. I was not thinking about Suede when making this record. I was thinking about the last few years of the Thatcher era. Those were the years when music first really came at me like a sickness, I had it bad. Maybe “The Wild Ones” speaks to that feeling, probably why Suede made no sense in America. I think “ken” also means “to know.”
ken er produceret af Josh Wells fra Black Mountain, der samtidig har været trommeslager i Destroyer siden 2012. Albummet blev indspillet i The Balloon Factory. Bandets eget studie-/jam-lokale.
ken vil være tilgængelig digitalt, på CD, alm LP og som Deluxe LP, trykt på en gennemsigtig gul vinyl, der inkluderer en bonus 7’’ single på sort vinyl. 7” indeholder solo-akustiske versioner af albumnumrene ”A Light Travels Down the Catwalk” og ”Stay Lost.”
