专辑介绍
by Jason Ankeny
That a record with such a plug-ugly cover would house such beautifully melodic pop is just one of the many contradictions that propel Destroyer's Thief; anthemic yet understated, honeyed yet acerbic, it's first and foremost a collection of piano ballads that possesses absolutely none of the sentimentality and romanticism that the style almost uniformly engenders. Though Daniel Bejar's adenoidal vocals recall Robyn Hitchcock and his superbly arranged melodies evoke early Bowie, he's nevertheless a complete original: his arch lyrics -- equal parts social commentary and stand-up comedy -- are consistently superb, and his songs ebb and flow with cabaret-like flair. Reveling in a kind of corrupted gentility, Thief is by turns playful and malicious -- sophistication at its most scabrous.

- @Split Works(独立音乐推广和演出公司，...)：2016年4月16日，加拿大杰出唱作人Dan Bejar携自家乐队Destroyer将在北京开启中国巡演第一站。主唱略带神经质的沙哑嗓音配合颇具巧妙的旋律编排，散发出的迷人气质总令人意犹未尽。演出结束后的第二天，Destroyer将前往上海参加“当代变奏”系列演出。 北京站 日期：2016年4月16日 星期六 时间：21:00 场馆：愚公移山 地址：东城区张自忠路3-2号 嘉宾：Uncle Hu 票价：120元（预售）/150元（现场） 【预售票】请于每晚17:30后至愚公移山吧台处购买
