They've brought the 80s back. Not the new wave 80s (where everything's reversible) and bouncy synth pop ruled the day. No, not the good 80s at all. But the yacht-rock 80s with lush production, bad drum machines and (gasp) saxophones. Destroyer's new album Kaputt is filled with all three. I'm a big fan of Dan Bejar's work with the New Pornographers, and I respect the fact that he just doesn't care what people like me think, but this is too much.
Listen for yourself on the title track "Kaputt", and enter a parallel universe where Christopher Cross, Level 42, and Toto are still cool.
