Product description

Immerse yourself in a unique sonic experience with Destroyer's "A Merge Group Plays 'Heroes'". This captivating album, released on Merge Records in 2019, is a symphonic reinterpretation of Philip Glass' Symphony No. 4, which itself is based on David Bowie's iconic "Heroes" album. The result is an enchanting blend of chamber pop and art pop, spanning just 34 minutes but packed with depth and intrigue.

The album features Destroyer's signature artistry, with live performances of beloved tracks like "Beauty and the Beast", "Joe the Lion", and a stunning rendition of "Heroes". Each song is reimagined with a symphonic touch, creating a fresh yet familiar listening experience. The collaboration brings together a diverse group of musicians, including Mac McCaughan, adding layers of richness to the original compositions.

"A Merge Group Plays 'Heroes'" is not just a cover album; it's a testament to the enduring influence of Bowie's music and the creative prowess of Destroyer. The album's brevity belies its complexity, making it a compelling listen from start to finish. Whether you're a fan of Destroyer, David Bowie, or simply appreciate innovative music, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
