I just want to take the time and appreciate the crazy choreography the dancers did here.

Dan Bejar’s voice is itself a music genre

[NEMA]

I'm always amazed when an artist manage to use those three chords (wich have been used a zillion times) in an interesting way and make a good and fresh sounding song with that

[elizaanderson]

Dan Bejar is easily up there with the likes of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, etc... The man just doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

[iarina]

can't imagine the song without the video somehow they both work so well together

[muhgtrasd]

Downright an electronic tune and I love saying that this song blew my mind. I'm fond of the initial part as it covers millions techniques of dance music. I don't know anything about this artist, so I'm not able to write a decent comment. The matter is that his voice is just at ease, thorough in the continuation and peaceful, it grabs your attention. It apparently draws influence from the masterpieces of the '80s and it reminds me of Depeche Mode

dan seems at his lyrical best (and most cutthroat) when thrashing the music industry and the state of music in general. dude can spit some venom

[LifeInMontana]

Give the world your mind on music. God Bless you Destroyer. You are my new favorite Musician. I am 60. Keep up the good Work...your Band is so F-ing Good.

[jesseyules]

Fantastic photography Liam Mitchell. :)

[ryanastoner]

Destroyer, you are underated my friends. I've been listening to since 2012. You bring good flavor and experiences to my life.

[gaspardpi]

Very satisfying video. Listened to the song by itself first, liked it, and the video adds a lot to the experience. Love the dance.

Daniel Bejar, Master of the Universe...

[thusano]

Just got the full Album, let me just say, DAN, you fucking rule dude, stop. So much fire on this record, University Hill, ok I see you playa? THE RAVEN? I hope you lay that live when you get to Toronto because even though that album is less than 24 hours old, I've been playing that song nonstop weaving it into the very fabric of my being. As a long time fan, I gotta say, this one is on my list of favorite records in your discography. ken was a bit more subdued, especially after Poison Season, but this record is like...I don't know my mans is back yo, my mans is DRUNK ON THE FIELD It's a thing of pure beauty, bless you for dropping it at the top of the year so I have a soundtrack for this year's inevitable miseries.

[Adarkjet]

This is spot on - the right music for right now. The video perfectly suits the track. Destroyer should blow up soon. I'm rarely wrong about this kind of thing.

[Koshirozation]

Did you realize it was hollow?
Like everything that’s come before, you were gone
The idiot dissonant roar
That exquisite gong struck dumb

Cue synthesizer
Cue guitar
Bring in the drums
Cue fake drums

The idea of the world is no good
The terrain is no good
The sea's blasted poem
A twinkle in the guitar player’s eye

Cue synthesizer
Cue guitar
Cue synthesizer
Wherever you are

Open door policy not a goddamn thing in the night
Death threats scrawled in invisible ink’s alright
Went to Europe went to America. It’s the same shit
Been to Europe been to America. It’s all the same shit
I look around the room, I see a room of pit ponies
Drowning forever in a sea of love
I look around the room, we are a room of pit ponies
Drowning forever in a sea of love
Wherever you are...
Wherever you are...
Wherever you are...

Cue synthesizer...

[GhostofGomezDawkins]

It's a testament to your music, joy is found in every song regardless of intent and lyrical content. So, it's safe to say you're a master of the craft. Thanks and wish you well.

[legomaestro]
