Destroyer – Bay of Pigs

|
I honestly don’t know too much about Dan Bejar’s Destroyer, but I do know this: Bay of Pigs, Destroyer’s latest single EP, is an epic, 14-minute space-age ballad that I’ve had on repeat for nearly an hour now. |
| I’ve only heard a handful of Destroyer songs, but I’ve loved every one of them & to this day I don’t know why I haven’t listened to their albums in full. This song is definitely the icing on the cake for me; Bejar’s lyrical timing is excellent, his voice seems to hover above everything else as he casually sing-talks throughout this intimate song.
“Bay of Pigs” takes up all of side A, while the half-as-long “Ravers” compliments it quite nicely on side B. This is definitely the best single release I’ve heard in quite a while; give this one a really good listen, the lyrics are fantastic! |
