Destroyer (solo)

Based around band founder Dan Bejar's rakish vocals and obtuse songwriting persona, Destroyer has been in a constant state of evolution since starting out in 1995. Bejar's laid-back yet theatrical songwriting presence sits at the center of every phase Destroyer goes through, from the acoustic-leaning melodrama of 2004's “Your Blues,” to the cinematic lounge pop of 2011's “Kaputt” to experiments with synthesizers and spoken word on albums like 2020's “Have We Met” and 2022's “Labyrinthitis.”
