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

Musical style

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". "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".
