Destroyer (the project of Dan Bejar) is releasing a new album, Dan’s Boogie, on March 28 via Merge. Now he has shared its third single, the eight-minute long “Cataract Time,” via a music video. He’s also announced some new North American tour dates. Check out the video and dates below.

Bejar had this to say in a press release: “The song is a reckoning, a dressing down, a walk in the park where you carefully record your steps and describe the park and somehow the recording and the description undoes you. Which is why it’s important that the song be as groovy as it is. That part I didn’t see coming. There is a lightness that points to a future, even if I think it’s the heaviest thing I’ve ever written. John [Collins] outdid himself in the mix. His filigree harps changed everything. I think it is his favourite song on the record.”

Previously Destroyer shared Dan’s Boogie’s first single “Bologna,” via a music video. The song features Fiver’s Simone Schmidt and was one of our Songs of the Week. Then he shared its second single, “Hydroplaning Off the Edge of the World,” via a music video. It was also one of our Songs of the Week.

Destroyer’s last album, LABYRINTHITIS, came out in March 2022 via Merge. It was one of our Top 100 Albums of 2022. Read our interview with Destroyer on the album here.
