Today, Destroyer shares a new video for “Stay Lost” from ken, the 12th studio album released by the Dan Bejar-led project. Called “a user’s guide to the world” by Bejar, the imagery for “Stay Lost” depicts an aimless yet determined craftsman fabricating a world for himself.
Director Maxwell McCabe-Lokos explains: “The video tries to capture the song’s wit and ability to portray someone’s preoccupation, their metaphysical condition, with so few words. Stay Lost: an endorsement for those who don’t fit—for those who will build their own totems and revel in their ability to do it.”
