To Perceive His Face

Daniel Bejar (pictured, far right) is a sing-songwriter that likes to keep himself busy. When he isn't fronting his band Destroyer, he's either collaborating with (The New Pornographers, Bonaparte) or starting up (Swan Lake and Hello, Blue Roses) other bands. But we're going to focus on Destroyer today.

Bejar formed the chamber pop group back in 1995. He calls the band's style "European Blues" and they have drawn comparisons to Bowie, Pavement and Guided By Voices. They've released nine albums over the past decade plus, with their tenth, Trouble In Dreams, due out next month. The lead single is Foam Hands. It's quite an interesting song. Is it religious or sacrilegious? I say sacrilicious (sacrilege + delicious)! Judge for yourself, though. Listen below:
