Destroyer: Daniel Bejar (vocals, acoustic guitar, synthesizer, percussion); David Carswell, John Collins (synthesizer). Recorded in 2003. Personnel: David Carswell, John Collins (synthesizer). Recording information: DC (2003); Jc (2003). Vancouver's Destroyer has been a fairly prolific project for sometime-New Pornographer Dan Bejar. YOUR BLUES (2004) is a dense trip through Bejar's grandiose pop. Whereas on previous albums Bejar was joined by other musicians, on YOUR BLUES he is flying mostly solo. It's all synthesizers and midi instrumentation, a one-man band in the truest sense of the word. The bittersweet orchestration on tracks such as "It's Gonna Take an Airplane" adds an extra layer of authenticity to the lovelorn and hyper-aware tales he spins. It's overdramatic for sure, but it ultimately works because Bejar never takes himself too seriously--so much so that in the press Bejar has dismissed Destroyer as possibly being a "half-baked exercise." Either way, YOUR BLUES is an ambitious work, the kind that reveals more with each subsequent listen, and Bejar's cryptic lyrics certainly afford repeated listens.
