Destroyer goes Kaputt yet tours mightily

Destroyer goes Kaputt yet tours mightily

Dan Bejar has (arguably) yet to disappoint the frothing mass he can call a fanbase. From his solo work with Destroyer, to his superstar role with The New Pornographers, to his time punching the clock in Swan Lake he has yet to do anything even remotely boring or predictable. Bejar and friends return as Destroyer on January 25 with Kaputt, Bejar’s 9th LP as Destroyer and first since 2008’s Trouble in Dreams (TMT Review). The record will be released by Merge, a label that may now be bigger than EMI.

You can watch the fantastic video accompanying the title track over at our very own Chocolate Grinder (c/o P4K) and hear the hot Hot HOT lead-off track “Chinatown” too.

Destroyer will uncharacteristically tour mightily for the new LP along with Secretly Canadian pals The War on Drugs, who released the especially fine Future Weather EP (TMT Review) this past October.
