: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: On his masterful new album, Dan Bejar moves like a ghost through :,
: his familiar and inscrutable universe. :
:' ':
,: Spend enough time listening to Destroyer and the world will :,
: start to resemble a Dan Bejar songùwhen a bon vivant slips in an :
:' unexpected curse word; when a friend tries to place a melody by ':
,: humming the guitar part; when a common phrase twists into a :,
: surrealist riddle via an AutoCorrect mishap. Since he first :
:' emerged in the mid-Æ90s, Bejar has reflected the world in these ':
,: abstract and broken-sounding ways: ôSing the least poetic thing :,
: you can think of,ö he recently said of his preferred method of :
:' songwriting, ôand try to make it sound beautiful.ö As cerebral ':
,: as BejarÆs work can be, the state of mind with which his music :,
: is most commonly associated is drunkenness: the predilection to :
:' spew nonsense, the bravado in convincing the room youÆre fine, ':
,: even as you spill wine all over yourself. :,
: :
:' While he once accompanied these gestures with rambly, glammy ':
,: folk-rock, Bejar has spent the past decade mining the milder :,
: tones of sophisti-pop, soft rock, and adult contemporary: genres :
:' so removed from youthful abandon that even speaking their names ':
,: has a somewhat sobering effect. ItÆs music that feels connected :,
: to middle age, and Bejar has navigated his 40s using its muted :
:' horns and lush synths to accompany visions as fragmented and ':
,: nightmarish as ever. On 2011Æs Kaputt, a career peak that served :,
: as an unlikely commercial breakthrough, these textures might :
:' have seemed like a left turn; by now, itÆs just where we expect ':
,: to find Bejarùin luxurious settings, skeptical, eyeing the :,
: exits. :
:' ':
,: Compared to 2017Æs ken, a gothic-sounding record distinguished :,
: by chillier tones and pared-down lyrics, his masterful new album :
:' Have We Met sets a larger canvas. Produced by bandmate John ':
,: Collins, the music is sweeping and bold and surprising. ôCue :,
: Synthesizerö is the first Destroyer song to feature a prominent :
:' slap-bass part; the title track is so wispy and vaporous that ':
,: BejarÆs voice never actually appears in it. Same goes for the :,
: closing moments of the record: a hellish coda of buzzing :
:' samples, like a demonic YouTube tab left open by mistake. ôJust ':
,: look at the world around you,ö goes a pivotal lyric. ôActually, :,
: no, donÆt look!ö The music is filled with similar retractions: :
:' ItÆs his most inviting, embracing record, until suddenly itÆs ':
,: not. :,
