After ten albums and more than fifteen years as an artist Destroyer's front man Dan Bejar performs on routine, delivering a rich set of their proprietary "European blues" to the Finnish audience at Flow Festival.
"More than anything or anyone, Bejar and Destroyer remind us of Laurence from Felt whose 90s project, Denim, was a feast of unironic period fetishism. We're not sure what the point of all this is, but we love the attention to detail and longing for a bygone age. On the title track, Bejar even recites a list of his favourite music papers ("Sounds, Smash Hits, Melody Maker and NME all sound like a dream to me"), for which, all credit must go to him for making writing for mostly long-defunct publications - for a pittance, in conditions that can only be described as squalid - seem like the most glamorous job imaginable."
