Split 7''
Merge
2008
Rating: 6.5 robot babies out of 10
This was apparently an exclusive release by Merge for Record Store Day back in 2008, back before RSD became the monster it is today. The first side is an exclusive track from Destroyer, "Madame Butterflies" - not Dan Bejar's best work but a decent enough song. Most musicians would probably sacrifice a nut to even put out music as good as a mediocre Destroyer song. I actually prefer the b-side of these two, Baltimore's Wye Oak with "Prodigy" - it's a slow jam that doesn't really show off the band's trademark (that being Jenn Wasner's guitar chops), but it's a catchy song all the same. Not a must-have record, but certainly worth a rescue from the bargain bin that I got it from.
