Over the course of his career as Destroyer, Dan Bejar has established himself and his band as one of the most unpredictable success stories in modern popular music. As a songwriter, Bejar is recognised as having few peers. As a musician, he is like the court jester, waiting in the wings, poking fun at those who take themselves too seriously and skewering those who would celebrate commerce as art.
Kaputt is Destroyer’s ninth album, and Bejar’s most critically acclaimed to date – receiving five-star write-ups from the Guardian and Tiny Mix Tapes, and 8.8 (Best New Music) from Pitchfork.
Tour support comes from Weird Dreams – an east London psych-pop four-piece brought together by a mutual love of David Lynch. Their debut album, Choreography, was released through Tough Love (HEALTH, Let’s Wrestle).
