Best New songDestroyer — Sky’s Grey
Posted by LetsLoop on August 8, 2017, 8:34 am Sky's Grey is the lead single to Canadian indie-rock band @Destroyer's upcoming 11th album, ken, which is out October 20th and follows up 2015's stunning Poison Season.Here's what frontman Dan Bejar had to say about his new album:
"Sometime last year, I discovered that the original name for The Wild Ones (one of the great English-language ballads of the last 100 years or so) was “Ken.” I had an epiphany, I was physically struck by this information. In an attempt to hold on to this feeling, I decided to lift the original title of that song and use it for my own purposes. It’s unclear to me what that purpose is, or what the connection is. I was not thinking about @Suede when making this record. I was thinking about the last few years of the Thatcher era. Those were the years when music first really came at me like a sickness, I had it bad. Maybe “The Wild Ones” speaks to that feeling, probably why Suede made no sense in America. I think “ken” also means “to know”."
ken was produced by @Black Mountain's Josh Wells, who has been Destroyer's drummer since 2012.
If you're new to Destroyer and would like to hear more, we highly recommend listening to Kaputt, Chinatown, Times Square, Dream Lover, Girl in a Sling, Savage Night At the Opera, European Oils and Painter In Your Pocket.
