Destroyer - Poison Season

yup it was a grower

i heard a song off this on the radio and it just occured to me that dude must have a major nikki sudden/kunsworth/jacobites jones

Been listening to this a lot lately. I was kind of underwhelmed by this when it was released, but right now this feels like my favorite album of 2015 and possibly favorite destroyer album.

Saw Destroyer for the first time playing the Glasgow CCA last night...I need to ask has he / have they always been this good live?

That was honestly one of the best shows I've ever been to and I wouldn't have rated Dan's recorded work even close to my favourite stuff .

It was LOUD, felt/sounded very little like the album versions, and the band were totally killing it. Dan wasn't even the focal point like I was expecting. It was fluid and felt like the sounds could go anywhere - completely engaging. Very improvisational feel like when a jazz trio just clicks y'know but they were nailing, NAILING the accents/grooves/dynamics as a group. Right, gush over.

The funny thing was is half the time the musicians didn't even look into it and their stage chat (or lack of) was a bit off.

he's had that fantastic (as far as i can tell from recordings anyway) live band since touring Kaputt

anyway that post lead to me finding this fantastic live version of Certain Things You Ought To Know

Something about this video looked oddly familiar until I finally recognized the back of my head.

Fantastic show. I've always liked that venue.

I saw them for the Kaputt tour : it was good, especially since I loved the album, but it didn't particularly struck me as a great live performance.
As for this latest album, it might be my favourite after Kaputt, now.
the songs are less strong but the production/arrangements are fabulous.

Saw them 4 nights ago in Manchester - same experience: blown away to an unexpected degree. Loud, tight, everything clicking. There was also something about the eight of them only just about fitting on the tiny stage.

Dan wasn't even the focal point

Gutted to have missed them on this tour.

I think Poison Season might be his/their masterpiece sometimes, much as I love Kaputt. New one has good highs, but nowhere near as consistent.

I saw them in London. It was cool! I’ve been a fan since 2004 so it was great to finally see them live. Found it funny that Bejar crouched down for any of the extended musical interludes. The sax freak outs were f-ing amazing.

saw them last night - what an incredible show

the sax was kinda buried in the mix, unfortunately

already bummed i didnt buy the black and yellow tee-shirt at the merch booth.. if anyones seeing them in the next couple months let me know!!

I also kinda regret not getting the t-shirt!

sound was not very good when I saw them though

been relistening to this. It holds up really well. I think it's the best destroyer album.
