Album Notes & Community Reviews
On 'Your Blues', Dan Bejar subverts expectations by creating a 'MIDI-orchestral' sound using outdated synthesizers. The result is a theatrical and eccentric collection of songs that feel like an artificial Broadway play. It is a highly literate and idiosyncratic entry in the Destroyer catalog.
