Misra description:
Pop craftsmen like Daniel Bejar only come around a few times per generation. His new album, Destroyer's 'Streethawk: A Seduction,' is the most potent collection of pop songwriting in a long, long time. Drawing on influences past (Bowie, Syd Barrett, Bno, Mayo Thompson, the Smiths) and present (Pavement, the FalL David Berman, Be~ar and his four Destroyer Cohorts have concocted a 12-song Mbum of timeless pop anthems. But while Destroyer owes a debt to classic sounds, Bejar's talent shines brightest in his overfly literary lyrics. His words spill out like poetry - sometimes the message is unmistakable, other times it's hidden in twisted vines of allegory. Destroyer has not been the only vehicle for Bejar's distinct songwriting; he is also a main contributor on the much acclaimed New Pornographers' 'Mass Romantic' (Mint).
