Product Description

"ken," the eighth studio album from Canadian art-pop maestro Destroyer, is a captivating journey through the intricate landscapes of Dan Bejar's songwriting. Released on October 20, 2017, under the Dead Oceans label, this 44-minute collection of chamber pop and art pop gems showcases Bejar's signature wit, melancholy, and lyrical depth.

The album opens with the haunting "Sky's Grey" and closes with the delicate acoustic rendition of "Stay Lost," framing a diverse array of tracks that range from the cinematic "Tinseltown Swimming in Blood" to the introspective "Sometimes in the World." "ken" is a testament to Destroyer's ability to blend sophisticated instrumentation with poignant lyrics, creating a sound that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.

With tracks like "Cover from the Sun" and "Rome," Destroyer weaves a tapestry of vivid imagery and complex emotions, while the acoustic versions of "A Light Travels Down the Catwalk" and "Stay Lost" offer a stripped-down, intimate glimpse into the heart of the album. "ken" is not just an album; it's an experience that invites you to explore the depths of Bejar's creative genius, one track at a time.

This 2017 Limited Edition LP is pressed on Yellow vinyl.

  • Mastering Exceeds Expectations

    5 out of 5 stars
    NOZU.HP1 January 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
