“Been meaning to wear my hair like this for ages," Dan Bejar sings on "Eat The Wine, Drink The Bread," the second single from Destroyer's upcoming album LABYRINTHITIS. When he clarifies -- "I mean down, down, all the way down" -- with the song's disco backing swirling around him, it's a very Destroyer moment. As is, "'Ruff Ruff' goes the beagle to the terrier."
"Eat The Wine, Drink The Bread" is sonically a cousin to Kaputt's "Song for America," a little more overt in its New Order dancefloor intentions but no less intoxicating. Listen below.
LABYRINTHITIS is out March 25 via Merge and you can preorder the jade and ivory Peak Vinyl edition now.
