专辑介绍
by James Christopher Monger
Supporters of Destroyer mastermind Dan Bejar have been regaled with enough material over the previous two years to keep even the smallest fan site busy. Between the New Pornographers' 2005 Bejar-heavy Twin Cinema and the Destroyer/Frog Eyes EP Notorious Lightning and Other Works, the hyper-literate, Bowie-loving Canadian has been on a roll. Destroyer's Rubies, his fifth full-length offering, is an amalgam of Streethawk: A Seduction's glam rock posturing, This Night's guitar-heavy psychedelia, and Your Blues' apocalyptic wordplay. Bejar's imagery is as impenetrable and volatile as ever -- "Dueling cyclones jackknife/They got eyes for your wife and the blood that lives in her heart" -- but musically, he's forged a solid enough foundation to ground it. Part of Bejar's charm comes from his innate ability to balance sadistic verse, music geek grandstanding, and bawdy refrains with enough major seventh chords to score a full season of Brady Bunch segues -- "A Dangerous Woman Up to a Point"'s pre-chorus crescendo declares "Those who love Zeppelin will eventually betray Floyd/I cast off those couplets in honor of the void" before exploding into "I pictured heaven on earth made of clay, as your form dictated." Rubies is heavy on pop craft, with standout cuts like "European Oils," "3000 Flowers," and the manic title track echoing 2005's "Broken Breads" and "Streets of Fire," but it's more than just the art-house theater to the Pornographers' Twin Cinema, it's the absinthe-drunk projectionist reveling in the sheer hedonism of it all.

- @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
