Daniel Bejar is an independent singer-songwriter from Vancouver. He has gained widespread popularity through his musical collaborations with indie-rock band The New Pornographers, but has released far more material as the frontman of his band Destroyer.
Over the ten-plus years that Bejar has been performing and recording as Destroyer, there have been numerous lineup changes and shifts within the artists he plays with. This ever-evolving shuffle of musicians has led some to consider Destroyer as a solo project, but Bejar has always insisted that he sees Destroyer as a band, with full contributions from his collaborators. He has said in interviews that he’s just never been good at the logistics of keeping a band together.
Bejar calls Destroyer's style "European Blues" and his lyric stylings are noteworthy for their cryptic poetry, which frequently vex and intrigue listeners. He openly borrows phrases from other artists and a variety of other sources.
Destroyer’s ninth studio album, Kaputt, will be released on January 25.
