Ken
- Shrink-wrapped
Of his 12th studio album and its enigmatic title, Destroyerâ€™s Dan Bejar offers the following: Sometime last year, I discovered that the original name for â€œThe Wild Onesâ€ (one of the great English-language ballads of the last 100 years or so) was â€œKen.â€ 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. Itâ€™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 â€œThe Wild Onesâ€ speaks to that feeling, probably why Suede made no sense in America. I think â€œkenâ€ also means â€œto know.â€ ken was produced by Josh Wells of Black Mountain, who has been the drummer in Destroyer since 2012. The album was recorded in its entirety in the jam space/studio space that the group calls The Balloon Factory. However, unlike Poison Season, ken was not recorded as a â€œbandâ€ record, though everyone in the band does make an appearance.
