ruffianbandwidth hell yeah, this is encouraging. sometimes I get in a rut where I like an album from an artist and only listen to that. Will be sure to break that cycle with this artist
One of my favorite bands ever, who I go back to often. With their new record coming, I was going back into the catalog and realized I was missing out on this one.
Destroyer is an artist with a broad discog, encompassing different styles and palettes, with stylistic motifs connecting every record. As an early Destroyer album, City of Daughters is a rewarding listen, because it shows Bejar and Co in the midst of developing those motifs we know and have loved for nearly three decades and running.
One of the least talked-about GOAT double albums ever.
I think I caught the band live for the first time on the āSisterā tour that preceded it - Iād never seen or heard anyone abuse guitars in such a creative and unusual way before that (or since).
Not a dud track on it.
A mind-blowing, life-altering, perspective-forming monster of a release. I was and have remained a fan ever since (and Kim Gordon is a goddess, Iāll go down with that particular ship forever).
When someone says ābest NYC art rockā this is automatically my go-to reaction. Like a gallery showing for a new artist you canāt wait to tell your friends about. š¤
P.S.: Yes it sucks that they're gone and I blame Thurston, of course.
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you havenāt worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You donāt have eachotherās phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and itās been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
