There's so much that should be absolutely hated on Dan Bejar's, aka Destroyer,new album Kaputt. The soft-rock, blue eyed soul, jazz-lite, smooth sounds are the sort of thing that made the 1980s the musical decade that taste largely forgot......yet somehow this album is utterly charming and a fantastic listen.
Jam-packed with synths, sax solos, little electro sounds, and "chicka-chicka" guitar work worthy of Nile Rodgers, it's an engaging listen from the get-go. However, the acceptable side of the '80s is also there, and you can hear snippets of New Order, Roxy Music, Talk Talk, Depeche Mode, and the ambient sounds of the likes of Tangerine Dream.
I'm slightly disgusted with myself for enjoying Kaputt so much.....but I don't care - embrace it!
Have a taste of 'Chinatown' below:
