"Lost" Destroyer album reissued at last!
This was originally released on a very small label, on cassette only, in 1997. Consisting of 16 mostly brief and acoustic songs, this was the "lost" Destroyer record, the missing link between the fractured, Syd Barrett-meets-Sentridoh bedroom recordings that comprised Bejar's first full-length, 1996's We'll Build Them A Golden Bridge, and 1998's much more polished City Of Daughters. If you like either album, and especially if you like the latter, this record is an early Destroyer classic, with the word puzzles, non sequiturs, and instant melodicism of Bejar's best work. Sound quality is better than the original, muffled cassette, but it still sounds like it was recorded at home on a 4-track; the quality of the songs, however, more than makes up for the mid-fi sound.
