Destroyer has released a new single titled “Eat the Wine, Drink the Bread” ahead of his new album, Labyrinthitis. This new single follows the album’s lead single, “Tintoretto, It’s for You.”
The upcoming album will be released March 25. Through Joshua Wells’ percussion and John Collins’ drum programming, this melancholy yet groovy and upbeat song leaves listeners bewildered and disoriented.
Following the success of the lead single, “Tintoretto, It’s You,” Pitchfork called the track “menacing and theatrical, bursting with distorted synths, cracking drums, and blaring trumpet. The sound itself might seem like an urgent shift toward art-punk collage, but listen closely and you will hear Dan Bejar paraphrase an apocalyptic Leonard Cohen song.”
The band will also be touring in support of its album, beginning on April 22 in Vancouver, and finishing off in Portland on May 22.
