"We'll Build Them a Golden Bridge" is the debut album by Destroyer. It was reissued by Scratch Records on October 24 2006.
The album's title is an allusion to Leo Tolstoy's novel "War and Peace", in which Mihail Kutuzov, the commander of the Russian army, promises to build Napoleon and the French army a "golden bridge" out of Russia - that is, to allow the French to continue on their hasty retreat without attempting to do battle, which would only delay the eventual end of the war and bring about needless destruction and loss of life.
