Destroyer
Testifying to a career of fucking with expectations (Like the nerd-glam of This Night? Well here's 12 tracks of crystalline, synthesized brilliance called Your Blues!), Dan Bejar followed 2008's sorta-in-a-rut Trouble In Dreams with the EP Bay Of Pigs, a two-track experiment in ambient-disco that marries Bejar's hyper-specific, meandering narratives to the kind of soothing blips and bleeps usually associated with The Field. Further subverting expectations: Despite its whiplash-inducing change of style, Bay Of Pigs is another triumph for the man better known as the George Harrison of The New Pornographers.
