Thief (Destroyer album)

Thief is the third studio album by Destroyer and the first recorded with a full band on every track. Thief is thought to be an attack on the music industry perhaps a response to the lack of success that Bejar's other band, The New Pornographers, were having after releasing their EP.

Personnel

gollark: I just realized that osmarkslisp™ never actually uses the `NoParse` thing I defined in it and apparently nobody noticed.
gollark: Well, I think most cases would be fine with 1 to 3 bracketless arguments.
gollark: Technically, that was two other values, but hħhħhh.
gollark: So `<bee apio` = `(bee apio)`.
gollark: And similar things for other brackets.
