Destroyers latest album, LABYRINTHITIS, brims with mystic and intoxicating terrain, the threads of Dan Bejars notes woven through by a trove of allusions at once eerilyfamiliar and intimately perplexing. The record circuitously draws ever inward, each turn offering giddy surprise, anxious esoterica, and thumping emotionality at equal odds. Do you remember the mythic beast? Bejar asks at the outset of Tintoretto, Its for You, the albums first single, casting torchlight over the labyrinths corridors. Tintoretto, its for you/ The ceilings on fire and the contract is binding.Delivered in a Marlene Dietrich smolder, Bejars lyrical menace seeps like smoke through the brazen marchs woozy synths and dizzied guitar. Theres some characterhere that feels new to me, a low drawl, an evening gown draped over a piano, Bejar says of the song. Throughout, LABYRINTHITIS insists that everythings not all right, but that even isolation and dissolution can be a source of joy stepping into the sunlight at the other end of the maze in your ear, Bejar strolling alongside like a wild-maned, leisure- suited minotaur.
