The musical brainchild of Vancouver's Dan Bejar, Destroyer have a knack of recording songs that sound both familiar and endearingly alien at the same time. 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. He complements his atypical melodies with abstract lyrics as he conjures up surrealist soundscapes—whether experimenting with theatrical concepts on 2001's Streethawk: A Seduction or embracing enigmatic rock with 2002's This Night.
