New (Order) Music from Destroyer

New (Order) Music from Destroyer

Whenever Dan Bejar’s band Destroyer releases a new album I feel like a giddy little kid at Christmas. Sadly, their new record, “Ken” won’t be out until October 20th, but they have put out a couple of singles that I’ll be playing non-stop until then. The beginning of the single “Tinseltown Swimming in Blood” could easily be the opening riff of a new New Order song which isn’t too surprising given Bejar’s published penchant for the post-punk pop group. Even the cascading drum fills that close the song remind me of the tribal drumming of New Order drummer, Stephen Morris. Check out the video and let me know what you think. On a more somber note, Sky’s Grey catches Bejar in a mellower downbeat mood. Looking forward to this release!
