Destroyer (4) ‎– Kaputt

Every so often we are swept off our feet by love, by music, by confessions of the weak and the lullabies of stoned voices. Kaputt is quite simply a perfect storm of those many moments in our lives... if ever lived. Destroyer's songs explore our modern society, they forsake the media that controls us, shames the delusions of an empire and feeds our devilish vices. The music that saturates Destroyer's words is compelling, sometimes brilliant, carrying the vocals with sophisticated synth lines, foot tapping drum kicks, and lots of clean layers. The overall album does not have one elementary foundation, it adopts anything and everything. Then there are some songs on Kaputt that could easily be dismissed because of their whimsical "soft jazz" eruptions, but Destroyer pulls if off and creates something radiant in the sea of commercial shit music. Wait, but I said soft jazz? Really? Yes, and the experiment works. This is modern poetry like nothing else I've ever heard before and I don't give a damn if you love it or loathe it.
