Premature Evaluation: Destroyer - Trouble In Dreams

Yes, we have ourselves a new Destroyer, Trouble In Dreams, though it seems like Dan Bejar's always with us. Whether it's contributing myriad great tunes to a New Pornographers album or running co-pilot in the Yukon with his lady Sydney Vermont in Hello, Blue Roses (Vermont put her art skills to use, painting Trouble's cover), seems we can't go long without hearing his distinctive warble. Minus Scott Morgan, Trouble includes the same backup band as on 2006's Destroyer's Rubies -- there's a well-worn, comfortable fluidity running counter to the verbal stream-of-consciousness. In some ways, Trouble is more reigned in than Rubies, but Bejar can only be reigned in so much. A chorus is something that bears repeating, as he puts it.
