██ ░▄
██│ Destroyer Deliver is Zeb Gould and companyÆs latest journey through
██│ the bucolic. The follow up to their 2014 Dying Waves album, Destroyer
██│ Deliver is an Americana masterwork that divvies up the shadow and the
██│ light, pitting them against each other from song to song and story to
██│ story. The result is indie-style gloom-folk meets sweet fingerpicking
██│ prairie-bliss, a post-Millenium take on melancholic wasteland love.
██│
██│ Recorded within the vaulted former church walls of upstate New York's
██│ Dreamland Recording Studios (The National Sufjan Stevens, Beach House,
██│ Fleet Foxes) the lushly orchestrated world of Destroyer Deliver was
██│ engineered and mastered by Sam Crawford, GouldÆs frequent
██│ collaborative partner. The sound of the record is built around the
██│ three-part vocal harmony of Gould, Elizabeth de Lise, and Jeff
██│ Hudgins. These vocal textures and GouldÆs gentle acoustic guitar and
██│ banjo are interwoven with the violin of Megan Gould (ZebÆs wife and a
██│ performer and arranger in her own right with the likes of Lou Reed,
██│ Natalie Merchant, and David Byrne). Vocalist Hudgins adds even more
██│ warmth to the sound of the group with his clarinet and saxophone
██│ performances. Jerome Begin expands the timbral range of the ensemble
██│ with his fluid mix of piano, Wurlitzer, Mellotron, vibraphone, and Vox
██│ Combo organ. Christian Rutledge (drums) and Crawford (bass) round out
██│ the septet to bring atmosphere and rhythm to Destroyer Deliver's rich
██│ harmonic sound.
██│
██│ A one-time New York City resident turned Kingston, New Yorker, GouldÆs
██│ departure from the city has done little to lessen his influence as a
██│ local indie artist. Continued work with his bandmates led to the
██│ group's contribution to a 2019 downtown stage production of Sam
██│ ShepardÆs famed play Fool for Love, where material from Destroyer
██│ Deliver served as the moody live-score.
██│
██│ In much the same way that ShepardÆs plays explored the New West and
██│ Flannery OÆConnor reimagined the Southern Gothic, the focus of GouldÆs
██│ songs on Destroyer Deliver deal with a mythologized Midwestùhis
██│ passion for storytelling woven into each of the album's eight tracks.
██│
██│ The albumÆs opener ôPanther on the Mountainö is an anthropomorphic ode
██│ to the imaginationùworking like an emotional timeline buzzing with the
██│ album's signature vocal harmonies and capped with Megan Gould's
██│ fluttering violin arrangements. Standout track ôThe Arsonistö is a
██│ heart-sick pyroÆs serenade ripped from the 80s soundscape that
██│ shuttles the listener back in time with its saxophone-laced slow-build
██│ cacophony. ôHearts Like Oursö features the handclap-propelled call and
██│ response vocal harmonies of de Lise taking on the roll of GouldÆs
██│ reality checker. A jangly doo-wop, with familiar Ronnie Spector
██│ textures, itÆs a blood and guts Badland-ballad fit for shaky barn
██│ dancing.
██│
██│ The sweeping album is available with an accompanying illustrated
██│ collection of Gould's short stories as well as the recordÆs lyrics,
██│ marking the first time that Gould has coupled his musical explorations
██│ with his literary endeavors. The book has been designed to be read in
██│ tandem with the music. This union of stories and songs invites each
██│ form to illuminate the other, and the juxtaposition allows Gould and
██│ his bandmates to plumb new depths of narrative richness rarely seen in
██│ Americana music. The characters in GouldÆs work inhabit a world where
██│ color commentators and arsonists alike wait for great storms to pass
██│ over the lakes and raceways of the Rust Belt. In the stories of
██│ Destroyer Deliver, he has created the sort of place where Death can
██│ show up as a drummer packs up after a gig and where profound answers
██│ to profound questions can be found waiting in a booth at the 1982
██│ WorldÆs Fair. The volume also features a cover illustration by William
██│ Schaff, the creator of iconic album covers for Jason Molina and
██│ Okkervil River.
██│
██│ The wide gamut of tones and emotions on Destroyer Deliver draws
██│ attention to the simple beauty of human beings playing music in a room
██│ together. For fans of Neil Young, Gillian Welch, Bill Callahan, and
██│ other poets of Americana, Destroyer Deliver is a sonic and literary
██│ feast.
