DESTROYER

Destroyer’s Rubies

2006-02-07

Bejar’s Dylanesque flare for biting and sardonic wit and his nods to the glam and bombastic folk approaches of early Tyrannosaurus Rex and Bowie recordings have clearly distanced “Destroyer” from the more straightforward pop of his “other” band, “The New Pornographers.” -P
