You'll hear that Destroyer sounds like David Bowie, or Brian Eno, and that's certainely good company, and maybe it'll make you want to go buy the record. It's good to have a comfortable and familiar reference, but it shouldn't be the focus of a critique, and Destroyer deserves to be heard with a fresh perspective and open mind. This is folk-tinged pop-rock of the highest order, marked by main man Daniel Bejar's (New Pornographers) cryptic, observational lyrics and genius arrangements.
