M.A.G.S. releases expansive new album 'Destroyer'

Elliott Douglas, aka M.A.G.S., has released his cerebral journey of an album Destroyer, out now via Smartpunk Records.

M.A.G.S. is making a mess of things, but it's for the better. 'Destroyer' centres around the idea that in order for true growth to really happen, we have to go through some sh*t first.

M.A.G.S. ruminated on the motivations behind the record:

"I started therapy last year, and while it was helpful for me, what I really took away from it was that I've known the answers to all my problems the whole time. Healing has to be a choice. You can know what's right and STILL do the wrong thing because accepting the truth requires real sacrifice. There has to be a level of 'fuck it' to everything in life, otherwise things can get really overwhelming and the darkness will swallow you."

Defined by its dark surrealism, fuzz and chaos, Destroyer promises to throw you head-first into a realm of sonic and emotional turmoil, opening a proverbial Pandora's box of self-realisation. Old school emo inspirations live alongside melodies driven by a love of Motown and mind-boggling math rock calculations give way to pure indie pop vibrations.
