Destroyer's thirteenth album is what Dan Bejar calls a "high-energy Cher record". It's certainly the most cheerful - and most electronic - we've heard from him, echoing New Order, Junior Boys and the Dirty Projectors.
Canadian indie vet Bejar has been making music for what seems like forever, and while many singer-songwriters are content with functionally rewriting the same album over and over, Bejar is too ambitious to rest on his laurels. 'Labyrinthitis' was written in 2020 and inspired by Bejar's love of New Order, classic disco, techno and contemporary rap. It's an album that rarely stays in the same place for more than a few moments: 'It's in Your Heart Now' finds him crooning over Peter Hook bass before the track slips into dreamy instrumental prog excess; 'Suffer' is indie pop with an arpeggiated trance energy; 'June' is shimmering minimal punk-funk; and lead single 'Tintoretto, It's For You' centers a long rap-style performance from Bejar set against wiry synths and angular drums.
On the title track Bejar dials back the bubbly froth of the album's pop standouts and instead leads through sunset ambient, a timely interlude before the disco-inspired 'Eat the Wine, Drink the Bread' sounds barbed enough to have slipped out of the "Technique" recording sessions.
