Destroyer - Have We Met (cd)

Destroyer's Have We Met is a masterful blend of old and new, with a sound that glides seamlessly between disparate reference points.

Abandoning the initial Y2K concept, Bejar instead instructed Collins to make it "sound cool," resulting in an album that marries the strident crooning of late-era Destroyer with the aged, atmospheric soundscapes of the era.

With a focus on creating a product that meets somewhere between those reference points and Destroyer's own area of expertise, Have We Met manages to capture the essence of the band's sound while still pushing boundaries and exploring new territory.
