Destroyer
Five Spanish Songs 12" EP
Vancouver's Dan Bejar returns with his seventh full-length under the moniker Destroyer. As expected, it's a thoroughly unexpected collection of clever pop music that takes no prisoners. Destroyer's Rubies weaves a narrative of loves won and lost, missed opportunities, and artistic integrity familiar to Destroyer fans.
Bejar's Dylan-esque flair for biting wit and his nods to the glamorous and bombastic folk approach of early T-Rex and Bowie distance Destroyer from the more straightforward pop of his other band, The New Pornographers, without sacrificing any of the tunefulness of that band's approach.
This double-LP includes the remastered album, an exclusive 24-minute bonus track titled “Loscil’s Rubies,” remixed by Scott Morgan and a full download of all of the songs. Note that the bonus track is available digitally only through the download coupon included with this vinyl reissue.
