has to be very difficult to get this nuanced, atmospheric song sound this good live. Kudos to all involved.

Oh my, I just love this. First discovered Destroyer when I was visiting my son in the US in 2004 and he gave me the Your Blues album. Been hooked ever since and we saw them perform in London a few years ago. They even feature in the playlists at my favourite pizza hang out here in my home town of Sheringham on the North Norfolk coast, UK. ❤

I can't believe I'd never heard this until now. What an incredible song, very dream wave. Definitely takes me back to the 80's, when music evidently peaked.

[filbobagins]

These guys are bringing me back to the 80s. when I listened to songs were like this. Good stuff.

I HAVE SUCH A BIG CRUSH ON HIM

WHAT TO DO WITH THUS FEELING

[GeorgeB]

One of the groovingest rhythm sections out there. Love this band.

[NealJackMeKC]

Love this band so much. Glad to have seen them live, Ken had so much energy to it.

[egosumMAF]

Feels like I'm listening to New Order. Love how Destroyer/Dan Bejar can make new the 80's!

[jdmcnugent]

Definitely a new order "temptation" vibe.

[abielmuren]

I love this song, sound so old new age, love it

Tinseltown swimming in blood
Tinsel ribbons dancing in the rain
Flowers on the skyline, hey how was the wine?
What comes round's going round again
Towers coming up for air

I couldn't see, I was blind
Off in the corner, doing poet's work
That's alright for now
It was just a dream of your blue eyes

Tinseltown dripping in blood
Tinsel women dancing in the wind
Dead flowers on the skyline
Hey how was the wine, baby?

What comes round is going round again
Now let me tell you about the dream:

I had no feeling, I had no past
I was the arctic, I was the vast
Spaces without reprieve

I was a dreamer
Watch me leave

[ClapperTrap]

dan's just in the corner like "fucking wow"

[danihasse]

pelo amor de deus, caramba.
