The musical brainchild of Vancouver's Dan Bejar, Destroyer have a knack of recording songs that sound at once both familiar and endearingly alien. Since debuting with We'll Build Them a Golden Bridge in 1996, Bejar has gone on to establish himself as one of indie rock's most adventurous songwriters and fascinating lyricists. He matches atypical melodies with memorable poetry to conjure up surrealist soundscapes, whether drawing influence from glam rock on 2001's Streethawk: A Seduction or yacht rock on 2011's classic Kaputt.
