Here in North America, we enjoy certain privileges. Privileges like the ability to enjoy five-star-caliber records as declared by us here at Tiny Mix Tapes. Records like Destroyer’s Kaputt (TMT Review). Click on that review, gaze at those filled-in red circles. Savor them for a moment. There are five of them.
We can’t forget our friends in the rest of the world, though, friends who haven’t access to physical copies of Kaputt. Sure, they’ve got digital copies, but when it comes to a release like Destroyer’s latest, that’s just not enough. Fear not, however, as the sweetest angels of Dead Oceans have come forth to bless the UK, Europe, and Japan with physical copies of the record on June 13. Bless you, Dead Oceans, for you are now the king of the recording industry.
Mere days after Kaputt’s international physical release, Destroyer will head to Europe for their first-ever European headlining tour. Not sure why Destroyer have never headlined a European tour before, but I think we can credit this to the confidence accrued from getting a perfect score from Tiny Mix Tapes. So hey, you’re welcome, Dan.
