This ‘un exists in a sweet spot between two colliding destroyer worlds: hints of the past - a more strident destroyer - blended with a relaxed, new-aged croon.

Culled from years’ worth of saved writing, set aside for projects beyond music, and recorded at his kitchen table, “have we met” harkens back to “kaput”-era Bejar stringing together lyrics off hand while lounging on his couch. Somehow converging between trademarks and new territory – atmospheric approximations of feeling and place, wry gut-punches of one-liners, and the deluge of energy meets a thematic catharsis of modern dread, delivered with an effortless, entrancing directness. but, no need to expound any further. he’s got it all spelled out for you in the music. “Dan Bejar plushes it up on Destroyer’s finest since Kaputt” 8/10 - Uncut

Benji says: This is a really interesting listen. To me it sits in a world somewhere that Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave command an army of synths and 80’s merriment. You have to try this one out!
