Destroyer

A whole slew of new releases were announced over the last few days, and i'm just now catching up on all of them.  One of said new albums is the upcoming "Dan's Boogie" from the ever difficult to classify Dan Bejar project Destroyer.  The first single is "Bologna" features an assist from Toronto band Fiver and plays like weird lounge music.  Dig on it below and pre-order the LP here from Merge.

Daily Jam - All Fires

Swan Lake was an indie rock supergroup from the late '00s consisting of Frog Eyes' Carey Mercer, Wolf Parade's Spencer Krug, and Destroyer's Dan Bejar.  Somehow the project managed to sound like the best parts of all three artists at the time.  Here's "All Fires," our Daily Jam.

October Horror Trailer - Destroyer

 

Destroyer

Dan Bejar's long running Destroyer project has a new album heading our way in January.  And if our first taste, the synth heavy "Crimson Tide," is any indication, we're in for the artist's idiosyncratic take on dance pop and new wave.  Check it out below and pre-order the "Have We Met" LP here from Merge.

Destroyer - Sky's Grey

I was unaware we had some new music from Destroyer in the pipeline, but lo and behold, we sure do.  New album "ken" is due in October on Merge.  Listen to the album's opening track and first single "Sky's Grey" below.

Joseph Shabason

Here's a dreamy, mellow jam from Joseph Shabason, noted for his stellar sax work for Destroyer.  The artist's new solo record, "Aytche," is due in August on Western Vinyl.  Listen to the title track below and try not to float away.

Destroyer - Dream Lover

It feels like it's been forever since we last heard from Dan Bejar and Destroyer, and though i still spin 2011's "Kaputt" is a fairly regular basis, it's nice to finally get some new tunes on the horizon.  "Dream Lover" comes from the upcoming "Poison Season" LP, due in August on Merge.  Listen below and dig on all those celebratory horns.  It's like announcing a glorious return.
