Destroyer: Thief 12″ (new)

Description

In the hallowedDestroyerdiscography, the early trinity ofCity Of Daughters,ThiefandStreethawk: A Seductionholds an important place; for not only does it documentDan Bejar’sevolution from lo-fi bedroom tyro to bona fide master of the rock album, it also contains a massive percentage of superlativeDestroyer“classics.” 1998’sCity of Daughtersfeatures some of the first steps out of the demo-tapey experimentation of earlier recordings, with songs like “Comments On The World As Will” refining the sound of that stripped-down earlier work, and the seminal “No Cease Fires” offering us the first taste of just what a full-bandDestroyermight conjure. 2000’sThiefnaturally went further down that road, and from the opening strums of “The Temple” to the arty quirk of “Queen of Languages” to the gentle, jagged comedown of the title track, it soon became clear that Bejar was a master of a singular songcraft – and one that was only just getting started.
