Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dan Bejar embraces the smooth, saxophone-laden sounds of 80s soft rock on this critically acclaimed album. 'Kaputt' is a dreamy, opulent record filled with cryptic lyrics about the music industry and urban decay. It manages to be both ironic and genuinely beautiful, reviving a maligned genre with wit and grace.
