Canadian indie rock band from Vancouver formed in 1995 and fronted by singer-songwriter Dan Bejar.

This is a reissue of Destroyer's 2006 release, available worldwide on Merge for the first time. Vancouver's Dan Bejar returns with his seventh full-length under the moniker Destroyer. As expected, it's a thoroughly unexpected collection of clever pop music that takes no prisoners. Destroyer's Rubies weaves a narrative of loves won and lost, missed opportunities, and artistic integrity familiar to Destroyer fans. Bejar's Dylanesque flair for biting wit and his nods to the glamorous and bombastic folk approach of early T-Rex and Bowie distance Destroyer from the more straightforward pop of his other band, The New Pornographers, without sacrificing any of the tunefulness of that band's approach. If you missed Merge's Record Store Day 2012 exclusive vinyl reissue of Destroyer's Rubies, you can get it now although this one is on black vinyl. This double-LP includes the remastered album, an exclusive 24-minute bonus track titled "Loscil's Rubies," and a full download of all of the songs. Note that the bonus track is available digitally only through the download coupon included with this vinyl reissue.
