Destroyer announces new album with lead single "Tintoretto, It’s for You"

11 January 2022, 15:31 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Destroyer has kicked off 2022 with news of his LABYRINTHITIS album, and has shared the lead single "Tintoretto, It's for You".

"Tintoretto, It's for You" is Destroyer's first new material since 2020's Have We Met album, and is accompanied by a David Galloway-directed video.

Speaking about the song and video, Destroyer, real name Dan Bejar, says, "I had an idea of writing a couple lines on the idea of ‘mystery’ and ‘going nowhere,’ as they are two of my favorite themes. That and the Grim Reaper and being pursued by some silent, unnamable thing that constantly lurks one foot to the left of you. Especially as the world's decay becomes increasingly less abstract. Also wanted to write on the romance of terror. The song "Tintoretto, It's for You" speaks to all these things, oddly enough so does the video…"

The majority of LABYRINTHITIS was written in 2020, and recorded in spring last year, and is produced by frequent collaborator John Collins.

Tracklist:

  1. It’s In Your Heart Now
  2. Suffer
  3. June
  4. All My Pretty Dresses
  5. Tintoretto, It’s For You
  6. Labyrinthitis
  7. Eat The Wine, Drink The Bread
  8. It Takes A Thief
  9. The States
  10. The Last Song
"Tintoretto, It's for You" is out now. Destroyer's LABYRINTHITIS album will arrive via Bella Union on 25 March, and is available to pre-order now.
