Released in 2011, this album from Dan Bejar's Destroyer takes you on a journey through the late 70s and early 80s pop and rock sounds. The music has a soft - focus charm, with reverbed trumpets and saxophones adding flair to the soft - rock and romantic pop. Standout tracks include the jazzy 'Chinatown', the introspective title track, the unique 'Suicide Demo for Kara Walker' and 'Blue Eyes' with Sibel Thrasher. The album closes with the epic 'Bay Of Pigs'. It comes as a black double - vinyl pressing in a gatefold sleeve and includes a free download. The music is on Merge Records.

Using this vinyl is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle on the start of the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place and keep it upright to prevent warping. The gatefold sleeve should also be handled carefully to avoid tearing. If you want to use the free download, look for the download code inside the sleeve and follow the instructions provided.
