Mar 28, 2025Swaggers from rococo to shambling, haunted to boisterous. It is just as rapturous as his 2011 breakout, Kaputt – unerring quality being another Destroyer trademark.
-
Apr 4, 2025Dan’s Boogie, Destroyer’s fourteenth album played by a decades-established seven-strong band, sounds magnificent from the outset, a tribute more than anything to doing this job for so long.

May 1, 2025While 15 more minutes would delight, the runtime feels purposeful. Like its photographic counterpart, the message to new listeners and fans alike seems clear: “Here’s Destroyer, distilled—an entryway, and a classic.”

Mar 25, 2025Bejar’s return to his Destroyer moniker is a welcomed continuation of his colorful discography while introducing a new side of the artist’s balladry, one that is a welcomed shift in the pantheon of Bejar’s sonic explorations.

But in songs like the inviting “British Columbian Prayer,” Dan’s Boogie locates a newfound tenderness in Destroyer’s music, albeit without spelling out its source.
