██ ░▄
██│ Little Destroyer return with their new album 1134, a blistering
██│ collection of songs that see them at their dramatic grunge-pop best.
██│
██│ The Vancouver based outfit is a tight knit trio of creative
██│ powerhouses; vocalist, bassist and songwriter Allie Sheldan, and the
██│ brothers Weiss û multi-instrumentalist Chris, and drummer Michael. The
██│ three are industry veterans, with the scars to prove it. No stranger
██│ to the exploitations of the music industry, nor the house of cards
██│ upon which it is built, Little Destroyer have a litany of almost
██│ chances, near misses, and lawyer invoices strewn behind them. A break
██│ was needed and the last two years provided the breathing space to
██│ reassess and realign.
██│
██│ Back with a new team in the female-led Tiny Kingdom, itÆs a clean
██│ slate for the band and one theyÆre keen to move forward with. Working
██│ alongside JUNO Award winning producer Howard Redekopp (Mother Mother,
██│ Tegan and Sara, The New Pornographers), the band has excised any
██│ remaining demons, returning with a new offering that is part cathartic
██│ release and part raucous reclamation of their musical identity.
██│
██│ Like so many artists, this latest offering was born during the
██│ pandemic and the creative process looked a lot different due to
██│ accompanying restrictions. ôWe didnÆt see each other for 8 months,ö
██│ Chris says, ôHaving to be apart really defined our creative processö.
██│ Tracks were built by passing files back and forth, each band member
██│ creating at home, allowing ideas to percolate differently - adding,
██│ layering, building. "We've always either been in a jam space or
██│ writing room together, and often with a producer in the wings", Chris
██│ continues, ôIn a jam space setting youÆre very much feeding off each
██│ other and thereÆs an ebb and flow and things are happening so fluidly.
██│ When youÆre apart, and youÆre in your own head, youÆre not able to
██│ bounce it off their expressionö. There was a paradoxical liberation
██│ that came with the feeling of being boxed in, and when combined with
██│ the extemporaneous guidance of a producer that truly gets it, well,
██│ thatÆs where the magic is. ôHoward was such a good sport,ö Allie
██│ shares, ôWe were able to get as weird as we wanted to and, after being
██│ locked inside for months, things definitely got weird. Not only did he
██│ get it, he supported and matched it, and started coming to the table
██│ with really crazy ideas. It felt like an exciting process for not only
██│ us, but also for Howard; the synergy was palpable"
██│
██│ ItÆs that synergy that gave a rise to an authenticity within this
██│ album, truly the closest yet to capturing the rawness and seething
██│ energy of a live Little Destroyer performance (the stuff of legend)
██│ within the studio environment. ôWhat producer is down with you not
██│ practising your parts before you record,ö Michael laughs. ôIt needed
██│ to be so raw, so real, so unrehearsedö. And itÆs this confidence in
██│ the vision, this ability to flawlessly pull off a shoot from the hip
██│ kind of idea, that makes Michael the undisputed creative wellspring of
██│ the band.
██│
██│ Little Destroyer, in their own words, is a sum of its parts. And every
██│ part makes great fucking music. Inspirations for the album are as
██│ diverse as youÆd expect from this motley crew. From Portishead and
██│ Massive Attack to indie-rock stalwarts Sleater Kinney to Elvis. First
██│ single ôhitmanö, released in April 2022, is a Sleaford Mods inspired
██│ slice of pop-punk perfection. An ultraviolet fantasy, all slicing
██│ guitar riffs, slick drums and burbling samples layered with AllieÆs
██│ gritty vocals. The storyteller narrative is a new angle for the band
██│ but allowed them to expand the musicality of the track to cinematic
██│ heights.
██│
██│ The next single to be released was the rakish ôlove and anarchyö, a
██│ joyful love story Little Destroyer style. Allie recorded it smiling,
██│ and pushed for its inclusion on the album, "It took a bit of time to
██│ convince the boys that this was an important song to include on the
██│ albumö, she says. ôIt's a love song, for people who know that love and
██│ life aren't a fairy-tale, but they can still be full of joy". Themes
██│ of unapologetic feminism and self-empowerment are core to the band,
██│ and as a frontwoman, songwriter and vocalist, Allie stands shoulder to
██│ shoulder with the greats; think GarbageÆs Shirley Manson, Skin from
██│ 90s UK legends Skunk Anansie or Queen Karen O; raw, riotous, and
██│ uniquely honest.
██│
██│ ôsucker4uö is a bristly wildcat of a track, all Charli XCX sass shot
██│ through with The Prodigy style big beats. The band jokes this was the
██│ track that almost broke them up, so chimerical is the arrangement, so
██│ frenetic was the creative process behind it. ôIt was definitely a
██│ learning process for the rest of the record,ö Chris shares.
██│
██│ 1134 signals a new intention for the band, a conscious decision to
██│ shift away from the meat grinder side of the music industry and toward
██│ a way of working and creating that sees the self honoured and freak
██│ flags flown high. Little Destroyer is proof that creating a pop-punk
██│ blitzkrieg is just as much about love and connection, as it is spit
██│ and spectacle. ItÆs great to have them back.
██│
██│ Dating profile: queer woman and two brothers strap on and make your
██│ ugly dreams come true.
