Destroyer, a.k.a. Dan Bejar, is back with the wonderfully titled new LP Dan’s Boogie, which will arrive March 28 via Merge Records. Lead single “Bologna” sounds like the music for a ’70s spy thriller, with hand percussion, clean guitar tones, and atmospheric synths providing the perfect backdrop for Bejar to sing lines like: “There’s an outside chance you’ll never see me again.” The name’s Bejar. Dan Bejar.
Accompanying the track is a David Galloway–directed video which stars Bejar and Simone Schmidt of the band Fiver, who are featured on the track. “I haven’t written many songs like ‘Bologna,’” Bejar shared. “I struggled singing the first and third verses, the most important parts of the song. They needed gravity and grit. The threat of disappearing needed to be real. So I called Simone.”
The Destroyer brigade will be hitting the road with Father John Misty next month. Talk about a couple of personas. Get ready for a lot of banter. Or none at all. View those dates here, and check out the video for “Bologna” below. You can also pre-order Dan’s Boogie here.
