Surprised no one seems to be talking about this interview/new track? http://pitchfork.com/features/interviews/9651-accidental-pop-a-conversation-with-destroyers-dan-bejar/

we r on the kaputt thread

Ah, OK

Nothing to discuss. Reporter asked a question about Taylor Swift, Bejar makes it clear he doesn't listen to her and has no plans.

lol wrong thread

Yeah, less about the Swift thing than general anticipation of the new record. But Diamond Dave set me straight on that

I heard "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart for the first time today snd just, damn. D sounds just like him! And the instrumentation and progression were spot on too.

mmh has actually been mentioned on the quite active kaputt threadDestroyer - Kaputt (2011)
not much love for trouble in dreams in this poll! great alb imo
― niels, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 12:16 (eight years ago) link
yeah that's a good one (but I still would vote for Rubies over anything else by a large margin)
― moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 13:42 (eight years ago) link
I'm not suprised (by the results of this poll that I've certainly seen before, lol) -- 'Rubies' got so much love on ILM when it was released vs. everyone everywhere being kinda down on 'Dreams' (check Bejar's riffing on "Grief Point") -- In the end, though, I played 'em both out, along with the three before (still haven't heard Thief, not crazy about CoD)
― regular ass terrestrial radio (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 14:14 (eight years ago) link
AS an aside, I and my wife both LOVE Grief Point.

yeah but like... you're self-loathing english on the mediterranean, innit?

thanks for the heads up
Seeing him do a solo show at the end of the month. Interested to see how the lush sounding stuff from his recent records comes across sans band.
― triggercut, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 09:13 (five years ago) link
I saw him do a solo show last night, it was cool. he played songs from all over his career - at least one from every album except Ideas for Songs and City of Daughters and also one new one called I think 'Crimson Tide' that was reminiscent of the first section of Rubies and a lyrical sequel to The Laziest River.
hope he manages to bring the full band out here some day.
