++ALBUM ASSESMENT++
On August 28, Destroyer returns with a new
full-length, Poison Season. In addition, a two-song 12-inch that
includes a remix of album track “Forces From Above” and the orchestral
version of “Times Square, Poison Season” will be released as a companion
to the record.
Poison Season opens with Vancouver native Dan Bejar swathed in Hunky
Dory strings. He’s a dashboard Bowie surveying four wracked
characters—Jesus, Jacob, Judy, Jack—simultaneously Biblical and musical
theatre. This bittersweet, Times Square-set fanfare is reprised twice
more on the record—first as swaying, saxophone-stoked “street-rock” and
then finally as a curtain-closing reverie.
“The first and last songs are actually one song tracked live with
quintet,” explains their author. “I even sang with the band. That song
always swung between super austere and super mid-’70s Springsteen/Bowie
street-rock. In the end, I decided I wanted both. Couldn’t really figure
out a way to sequence the orchestral version within the record, so I
decided to carve it up as a book-ending motif, with the rock version
squarely in the middle.”
Mr. Bejar has long displayed a chameleonic instinct for change while
maintaining a unified aesthetic (rather than just pinballing between
reference points). No two records sound the same, but they’re always
uniquely Destroyer. His latest incarnation often appears to take sonic
cues from a distinctly British (usually Scottish, to be precise) strain
of sophisti-pop: you might hear traces of Aztec Camera, Prefab Sprout,
Orange Juice, or The Blow Monkeys. These songs merge a casual literary
brilliance with intense melodic verve, nimble arrangements, and a
certain blue-eyed soul sadness.
