Album Notes & Community Reviews
Often interpreted as a highly cynical, metaphorical critique of the music industry鈥攕pecifically aimed at the mainstream success of his peers鈥擠an Bejar's third album is an indie rock triumph. 'Thief' heavily incorporates glam-rock flourishes and David Bowie-esque theatricality, supporting his uniquely dense, literary vocal delivery.
