Destroyer "Labyrinthitis" Ltd Ed Green and White Colored Vinyl LP 2022
Brand new - sealed.
Check my feedback - people love my quality records! More than an arcane puzzle for the listener, Labyrinthitis warps and
winds through unfamiliar territory for Bejar as well. Written largely in
2020 and recorded the following spring, the album most often finds
Bejar and frequent collaborator John Collins seeking the mythic
artifacts buried somewhere under the dance floor, from the glitzy spiral
of “It Takes a Thief” to the Books-ian collage bliss of the title
track. Initial song ideas ventured forth from disco, Art of Noise, and
New Order, Bejar and Collins championing the over-the-top madcappery.
“John is in his 50s, and I’m almost there, but we used to go to clubs,”
Bejar laughs. “Our version may have been punk clubs, but our touchstones
for the album were more true to disco.”
Bejar and Collins conducted their questing in the height of isolation,
Collins on the remote Galiano Island and Bejar in nearby Vancouver,
sending ideas back and forth when restrictions didn’t allow them to
meet. “From the vocal manipulation to the layered electronics, making
this record pushed us to a new place, and reaching that place felt
stressful,” Bejar recalls. “But I trust that that stress is a good
feeling.”
