The first official studio album by rapper
Destroy Lonely
,
If Looks Could Kill
is an expansive, lengthy set with 25 songs plus differing bonus tracks spread across the digital, vinyl, and CD editions. Keeping a consistent sound throughout its duration, the album blends trap beats with hazy, atmospheric guitars inspired by bands such as
Deftones
and
the Cure
. Some of the production is remarkable, with the whistling, gliding synths of "came in wit" and the bubbling textures of "all the time" being particular standouts. He aims for a particular mood, and he achieves it.
