Destroyer - "Kaputt"

Destroyer's 9th LP, Kaputt, is officially due out in two weeks, but most of the album leaked online late December.

"Chinatown" has garnered most plays, but I have "Kaputt" (video) rated higher, with captivating lyrics and saxophone, front man Dan Mejer seamlessly morphs indie pop and light jazz into a quite fantastic six minute journey.

wasting your days
chasing some girls
alright, chasing cocaine
through the backrooms of the world
all night

wasting your days
chasing some girls
alright, chasing cocaine
through the backrooms of the world

all sound like a dream to me

step out of your toga
and into the fog
you are a prince
on the ocean
in a pinch
in the sky
in your eye

step out of your toga
and into the ocean
look, they got your prince
on the fall
in a pinch
in the sky
in your eye

in the sky
in your eye

in a pinch
in the sky
in your eye

i wrote a song for america
who knew?
