Purveryors of all that is awesome; Dead Oceans (home to Phosphorescent, White Hinterland, Bowerbirds and The Tallest Man On Earth) have announced that they are to release the latest album from Dan Bejar’s alter-ego Destroyer. Kaputt is already out digitally but will get the physical treatment on June 13 in the UK, Europe and Japan. Merge Records are handling things Stateside. Read the TLOBF review here.
