Split 7''
Merge

Rating: 7 weeping willows out of 10
The fourth Merge subscription seven inch - this one on purple vinyl (As you can sorta see above). The King Khan contribution is a cover of the Saints "Know Your Product," and he fills the songs with horns and a real party vibe - if I didn't know better I'd think it was one of his original songs. The Destroyer side was written by a Chilean named Victor Jara, but having no knowledge of the guy or song I couldn't tell you any more than that. I'm guessing it was recorded at or near the same time that Dan Bejar recorded the "Five Spanish Songs" EP, because it is very much that flavor. And in Spanish. That part might be the giveaway. It still feels very much like a Destroyer song, hard not to with that voice.
