Destroyer’s Disappearing Act

destroyer dan bejar

Dan Bejar’s music as Destroyer is poetic, challenging, and mysterious. The band’s live performance gives life to music, it’s like finally getting the chance to see the pieces of the puzzle up close. Bejar’s performance in particular is like seeing a magician pull off a trick that leaves you amazed at the end.
