Trouble In Dreams by Destroyer

Trouble In Dreams is an Alt/Indie album by Destroyer, originally released in 2008. On Gatefold: 7 pressings tracked, owned by 5 collectors.

About

Dan Bejar’s eighth album as Destroyer finds him settling into a whimsical, melodic folk-pop mold after years of left-field stylistic detours. It’s a good look on him; the melancholy “Blue Flower / Blue Flame” is made all the more gorgeous by ornate guitar and piano flourishes that accompany Bejar’s twisting lyricism, while full-band songs like “My Favorite Year” balance luscious hooks with a loose, ramshackle feel. This majestic sense of poise makes <i>Trouble in Dreams</i> another satisfying, dreamy, and confident entry from Bejar.
