Product description

Ken is the eleventh studio album by Canadian indie rock band Destroyer, released on October 20, 2017, via Dead Oceans. This 44-minute chamber pop and art pop masterpiece is a testament to the band's evolution and their unique blend of elegance and perversity. Led by the enigmatic Dan Bejar, Destroyer delivers a collection of consistently compelling songs that showcase Bejar's quick, precise lyrics and cryptic storytelling.

The album opens with "Sky’s Grey," setting the tone for the synthy, sleazy atmosphere that permeates Ken. Tracks like "Tinseltown Swimming in Blood" and "Cover from the Sun" highlight the band's ability to create atmospheric, introspective pieces that linger in the mind long after the last note fades. The album also features acoustic versions of "A Light Travels Down the Catwalk" and "Stay Lost," offering a stripped-down, intimate glimpse into the band's songwriting process.

Ken is informed by the pomp of New Order in their 80s heyday, but Destroyer's signature style shines through in every track. The album's production is precise and polished, with each instrument and vocal layer carefully crafted to create a cohesive and immersive listening experience. Whether you're a longtime fan of Destroyer or a newcomer to their discography, Ken is sure to captivate and enthrall.

The album's tracklist includes:

  1. Sky’s Grey
  2. In the Morning
  3. Tinseltown Swimming in Blood
  4. Cover from the Sun
  5. Saw You at the Hospital
  6. A Light Travels Down the Catwalk
  7. Rome
  8. Sometimes in the World
  9. Ivory Coast
  10. Stay Lost
  11. La Regle du Jeu
  12. A Light Travels Down the Catwalk - Acoustic
  13. Stay Lost - Acoustic

Ken is a standout addition to Destroyer's discography, showcasing the band's continued growth and innovation. With its atmospheric production, cryptic lyrics, and memorable melodies, this album is a must-listen for fans of indie rock and chamber pop.

This 2017 Limited Edition LP is pressed on Yellow vinyl.

  • Mastering Exceeds Expectations

    5 out of 5 stars
    NOZU.HPJanuary 1, 2026United States🇺🇸

    Wow, this mastering is fantastic! I might even dare to say it surpasses the work done on the Kaputt vinyl reissue. This one, in my opinion, has more impact, clarity, distinction, and crispness. As for the pressing quality, it's excellent too. There are very few ticks, nothing seriously distracting, to be truthful. ★★★★½Pro-Ject X2with Audio-Technica AT-VM740MLVTF @ 2.1 gramsCambridge Alva DuoEdifier S2000 Pro

    The presentation is really pleasant, and the sound quality is great as well. The record has a bit of a warp, but there's no surface noise or anything out of the ordinary.

  • Pleasant Packaging, Decent Audio

    The packaging was really pleasant, and the audio quality is quite decent as well. The vinyl has a tiny bit of a bend, but there's no hissing or odd sounds.

    This mastering is absolutely fantastic! I might even dare to say it surpasses the work done on the Kaputt vinyl reissue. It packs more punch, has a stronger presence, better separation, and sharper sound. As for the pressing, it's top-notch too. There are very few clicks, nothing majorly distracting, to be honest. ★★★★½Pro-Ject X2with Audio-Technica AT-VM740MLVTF @ 2.1 gramsCambridge Alva DuoEdifier S2000 Pro
