Bay of Pigs is an EP by Destroyer released on August 19, 2009, on 12" vinyl.

Musical style

[edit]

Pitchfork described "Bay of Pigs" as starting with "one synth wash over another ... and a little spanish guitar" before turning into a lite-disco style song with "an improbably shimmering guitar" and a "clockwork rhythm".[1][2] "Ravers" is a slower version of Destroyer's Trouble in Dreams track "Rivers", with Exclaim! magazine stating that Bay of Pigs represented a "dreamy, synth-filled direction".[3]
