Destroyer in Italy: three dates in September on the tour supporting "Dan's Boogie"

Dan Bejar aka Destroyer is coming back to Italy, one of the finest songwriters on the international indie scene. Destroyer will land in our country in September with the tour supporting his fourteenth album, “Dan's Boogie“, released in March via Merge Records. The Canadian songwriter will perform on Monday 21st at Locomotiv Club in Bologna, Tuesday 22nd at Monk Club in Rome, and Wednesday 23rd at Arci Bellezza in Milan.

Tickets for the Emilia and Lombardy dates are already available on Dice.fm for 23 euros, while tickets for the Rome show start at 17.40 euros + booking fee (early bird) and can be found on Xceed.me.

You can count on one hand the pop songwriters who have managed to mock rules and stereotypes with intelligence and skilful writing, and one of them is undoubtedly Canadian Dan Bejar, one of the sharpest and most intriguing musicians on the contemporary scene. His Destroyer is a precious anomaly that reinvents itself with every release: never similar to what came before, yet always marked by a conceptual consistency that keeps the quality of both the music and the lyrics high. His new album, “Dan’s Boogie”, draws on the past only to elegantly break free of it. The seven fearless carvers of notes and pauses proudly uphold the motto “nothing new, all new”. While the previous “Labyrinthitis” got drunk on electronics and lingered in nocturnal misdeeds with dance, techno and darkwave tempos, the new project eases the tension and lets a sliver of light filter through, like the calm after the storm; piano and guitars in turn earn a front-row seat for a shift that isn't entirely painless. If “Labyrinthitis” was the perfect storm, then it's fair to say “Dan’s Boogie” is the rightful calm — but beware, because nothing is as it seems in the world of Destroyer.
