Pitchfork Best new music: Destroyer's 'Have We Met' - "sweeping and bold and surprising"

"The artist on stage has never sounded more at home" - Pitchfork says about the newest Destroyer album, giving it it's Best new music banner (grade 8.5). The P gives instructions on how to listen to 'Have We Met' - "you don’t relate to a Destroyer song so much as you find yourself mysteriously pulled inside of it, drawing connections and finding meaning on your own". The Quietus loves the album also - "in these murky and menacing melodies, creating the aural equivalent of a murder-mystery TV mini-series, Bejar's transition from songwriter to musical dramatist is complete".
