Destroyer is essentially the one-man band of Vancouver-based Dan Bejar, who also plays with the New Pornographers and Swan Lake. This is his 10th full-length under this name, one that is full of abstract lyrics and beautiful melodies.
He pulls off a convincing Robyn Hitchcock, while pulling from other influences including Bowie and Reed. The album moves between sounds and styles rather quickly, allowing comparisons to be made to diverse groups like The The, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Soft Boys, and Television.

The guitar riff during the chorus keeps reminding me of the riff from Kraftwerk's Computer Love, except opposite. Or maybe a horizontal mirro flip of the notes, so that one riff starts high while the other starts low.
