Thief

Daniel Bejar started Destroyer as a solo home recording project in Vancouver, BC during the mid-nineties. Recording most of his stuff on his own, Daniel worked diligently to refine his musical style and vision, reworking songs again and again until he found confidence in his music and voice. In 1996 he had culled enough material to release his debut full length recording "We'll Build Them A Golden Bridge," Stripped down, lo-fi electric folk, Golden Bridge introduced Dan as a major new talent on the Vancouver scene, and his quirky vocal style brought immediate comparisons to Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust heyday.

In 1998 Destroyer added a rhythm section to the mix and went into a real studio to record "City Of Daughters." The band expanded again in 2000, evolving into a quintet for "Thief," giving even more expanse to Dan's cryptic and scathing indictment of the pitfalls of the music industry (or at least that's what everyone claimed he was writing about). Full of Bowie-esque minimalist glam-pop thrills and glorious instrumentation, "Thief" will appeal to fans of Hefner and Sportique.
