Destroyer - Crimson Tide 

This album just gets better and better the more you listen to it. Hands down one of the best albums released this year!!

Kaputt will forever be my favorite album, I'll always be a fan for Dan's music

Still come back to this after I find myself humming it in my head every now and then. Brilliant tune.

The cinematography and framing is really captivating.

CRIMINALLY underrated!

This song is incredible.

Can I just say, from the bottom of my heart the depths of my fucking soul, I've been listening to Destroyer for so long now. Even back in the New pornographer days, I love that band but the Bejar cuts always spoke to me. I'm a little Canadian Fuck boi, I grew on the opposite side of the Country that's Dans from staring out at the Atlantic ocean in Labrador no less. And without meandering and getting to oversentimental it makes me so happy, to picture this poet on the other side of this land slab scheming up these crazy irreverent musings. And I get super inspired by this band, it's what I'm listening to when I'm churning my own art when I'm writing when I'm creating when I'm in drunk in the rain at the park or at the pier you feel me. I can't wait for this album, it's all of have to look forward to next year.

Been having a hard time listening to the Purple Mountains LP since the loss of David Berman, but this Destroyer song evokes the same emotion that the PM album did for me. It's dark, lonely, and sad, but at the same time just heartwarming and beautiful. Can't wait to hear more!

Still flying in this myriad of 80’s inspired synth rock. God bless you Dan and the boys. Can’t wait for the concert in Texas.

Even though half the time my reaction is "wtf?", I love listening to Bejar's lyrics unfold. I never know how he's going to finish a line, much more so than most artists.

these guys' music is timeless

Best record of 2020 hands down

“Thought I was smart; I’m not”. That sums me up accurately. Fantastic track! Thanks so much!

I just discovered this band today. The lyrics are so incredibly unexpected and intelligent. Will definitely buy the album in real life.

"I know how you blow... bubbles" Oh, Dan lmfaooooooo

I love Destroyer ♥️ There’s nothing else quite like them. They lyrics, the auditory aesthetic...just wow. My love for this band is just 💖💖 I love all Destroyer, new and old, but the Kaputt album is easily my favorite. Crimson Tide definitely has a “Bay of Pigs” type feel to it and IM HERE FOR IT. Bay of Pigs, Kaputt, and Downtown were my favorite off the last record so... 😊 I’m a happy camper

I'm not normally one to play songs on repeat but I'm on my 5th listen in a row. 30 minutes of pure aural bliss.

If he's gonna be bringing this sonic aesthetic for the whole album then I think the tour will be dope. Just remembering how they reworked old songs for the Kaputt tour makes me extremely excited for it!

#1 favorite song ~ Crimson Tide. #2 favorite ~ Hi Ren.

I have seen them in the Netherlands! and I was completely blown away! How good they are live and I am so happy with new music

Such an underrated band. Only 3 thousand subscribers? Dayum!

" I was like the laziest river A vulture predisposed to eating off floors No wait, I take that back I was more like an ocean Stuck inside hospital corridors My condition in general Despite what they say, improves So I could care less on a night like this I’m on the lookout for anything that moves Crimson tide I know when to hold 'em And I know when to leave I know where to go And I know how to breathe I know how you blow Bubbles You can look at the world Til you don’t know what you done You can follow a salary to the bottom of the ocean Is that yours? Throw it in the pond I thought I was smart I’m not I thought I was sick and dying Chicken-shit singers Paying their dues A circus mongrel sniffing for clues You watch the blonde make mincemeat of the brunette An actress pays her debt To Satan again and again I said I don’t know Just ‘cause A child coos sweet nothings to a box of fuzz He’s not a child He’s twenty-five He’s never felt so alive Crimson tide One more dead rich runaway Who gives a shit? Must be nice, must be the rain When lightning strikes twice The funeral goes completely insane The funeral’s insane The funeral’s insane The funeral’s insane Vicious stampede A vile promenade But in china teacups Two fools find love Back at Hotel Paral·lel Hysteria, I can feel it She says "Get into the zone" The zone is brimstone and wire You open your mouth To watch your teeth shudder At the mirror At the clutter Crimson tide"

Multi layered brilliance.

Dan is simply one of the best songwriters on Earth.

Heard this on, National Radio, NZ. Love it.

Saw him do this live at a solo show back in may and had a feeling it'd be a new Destroyer classic. Glad my feeling was right. Already this record's shaping up to be a step back up from the (still delightful) Ken

Personally, without any comparison, the complete album makes me feel in the same mood that Lloyd & the commotions ( 1st period) and New Order or Revenge with the Pop atmophere. Greatings to Destroyer !

This is the only New music I have let myself listen to. I am not ashamed.

Always check my notifications just in case Destroyer releases a new video for an upcoming album release and today was the day I was rewarded with 'Crimson Tide' - and what a reward! More old-school Destroyer lyrics with a big hint o' 'Bay Of Pigs' but NOW with even more pop culture references per minute than ever before. Love Dan Bejar and his music, he has never let me down. Thank you.

Seen from the name of the group I was expecting something more... heavy. Metal rather, but this is very interesting as well. I'm keeping an eye on Destroyer

Si a Ud. no le gusta ¡ Ud. se lo pierde !! Grandes Dan Bejar y Destroyer ( que bajo además )

This reminds me of a music review I wrote stream of consciousness and said something wildly offensive without meaning to and never deleted or fixed it even though I know now

amazing music....how does he do it? again and again, album after album ; brilliant guy

A new discovery. Bloody brilliant!🌞🌛🙂

Welp BoJack Horseman ends and this new album comes out on the same day, I don’t know how I’ll handle the emotions at that point

this song is always in my head when trying to sleep

Never clicked on anything faster!

"Gravity doesn't take a thing but hold it down until it becomes naught." ,dan' flies off the handle

Literally slapping my head going "why the fuck does no-one else GET THIS?", and at the same time going "thank fuck no-one else gets this. This is mine."

Dan is good isn't he. Like properly good.

This was the theme music to last summer…I just about died to this song lol…it reminds me to stay alive wen I hear it

This song rocks my soul!

I'm not to huge of a fan of his other songs, not that I hate them, just not completely my taste, but this song and video is incredible. I hope the album has more of this vibe.

Genius!!

Your amazing Destroyer triple love action!

"Deadly things were respected long before life was ever dissed because of or for them." ,dan'

Tight hug

Such beauty, as always.

I really like tha bass guitar here

This is recalling Tin Machine/90s Reeves Gabrels era David Bowie

"May your ghosts haunt you to exactly where you need to be spare wanting running amock to a finish line." ,dan'

"im in the mood for anything that moves" "when lightning strikes twice the funeral is insane"

Gimme that tour, baby.

this song is truly breathtaking

my great grandpa was struck twice - were all good but lyrically i should note it yeah? we met before- it was amazing before you went into toronto bout 3 years ago

Danny Sexbang really took a turn when Ninja Sex Party broke up

Genial Destroyer; como siempre.

Pet Shop Boys smash up with Leonard Cohen, and defo bit of Gary Numan in that synthy background!

Gives me the cure vibes and I love it

Like a train wreck and My poor grandma wondering the hospital corridors naked, you honestly don't wanna look, but you can't help it!

Canadian Gainsbourg. Genius.

Just discovered this cat on RSU Radio on N.E. Oklahoma.

Temazo. Gracias, Dan

I'm in 2 minds about this album. Sonically it's not his best work, but lyrically he's as good as ever.

January 31st is my birthday. What a present

I've never felt so alive

"Kick the dust from your feet as you flee foul verminite." ,dan' (on running away from running for office)

Yes, Bejar!!

"The song sat there unattended forever one day the poor thing achieved froze. Most uncold things are seen and if they see you being frozen you thaw out and you die." ,dan'

I was always wondering what it would sound like if James Murphy was cool.

I love the music. His style of singing is alittle unusual.. ok. I stand corrected i listen to this a second and third time i gotta say this song is really good..

Could I be the only one watching this during the Great Lockdown?

"Talk to your doctor about pill commercials." "Solid smoke." "Write fight me foo. Alien will smack your wack back." D'alien, ,dan'

Dont forget us Aussies....Come to Sydney please!!!!

This is properly good this!! 👍

Wow ........ amazing!!!!!😳👍👍✌

"The shit of a zombie is the consistency of mucousy, viscous as the words I know why else do you think I am brief and slow." ,dan' (btw my smart phone now reccomends mispelled words)

Sooo sensitive. Brilliant.

"Examine the darkness and see what it gets you but the boogeyman strikes back 5 and you thought 1 and 2 sucked." ,dan' (it'll stop. Say sick em' and their heads are gone. I will eat them)

"Learn to let lost be home and you'll find that nothing was what you wanted, maybe even came to need oddly enough." ,dan'

Is this true? Did I just really listened to a new destroyer song?

Total Stud! Montreal next March!

Kaputt II is upon us!

Una canción perfecta

"Clutter is messy to a genius. Okay. Okay." ,dan' (agree to reagree)

"Metaphors for being led to water may contain: eye batting, hair flipping/tossing, holding her current man closer or leave you holding her purse." ,dan'

Pretty freaking great.
