Destroyer. An artist I've been aware of but never listened to properly up to now. I'm amending that. A cup of piping tea on my desk, the sun rising in the Newcastle sky. Headphones on. Latest album Dan's Boogie booming on headphones August in descent. September on the horizon.
It's persona based eccentricity. A charming, disparate record. Pet Shop Boys. Lou Reed, John Cale and Divine Comedy traceable in the DNA. Wryness irony and stream of consciousness expression. It's all rather likeable. 'life is exquisite,' Mr Destroyer intones. I can endorse that. The man has a track record which perhaps I should explore. For now this is enough. Ot's a record that contains multitudes
He's definitely worth checking out. I started with Kaputt, but he goes back way beyond that. I should listen to the new one again, too. I moved on too quickly. He was great live when I saw him, as well. More immediate, rougher than on record. Probably 10 years ago now. Blimey.
