Destroyer have a new album, "Kaputt," due out on January 25th from Merge. Apparently, Mr. Bejar has been taking notes from Ariel Pink and Dent May. Rather than the usual helping of indie freak-folk rock, he's airing it up a bit with synths, saxophones, and mellow groove. Think of it like a French take on the Yacht Rock cruise. At any rate, it's undeniably catchy, a great record to start 2011 off with, and the video for the title track is a must see. Scantily clad ladies, some dorky kid, beach dancers, and a whale floating from a balloon. Check it out here.
