There are enough reasons for some listeners to dismiss Destroyer (aka Dan Bejar) right off--his self-consciously literate lyrics, his precious sense of theatricality, and his shameless David Bowie obsession, to name a few. Yet Bejar makes all of these potential liabilities work in his favor by building smart, absorbing, and remarkably well-crafted pop songs that sink in and then stick.

DESTROYER'S RUBIES, the artist's fifth solo album, is his most accomplished to date, and though it still owes a deep debt to HUNKY DORY-era Bowie, it truly shines with a sense of originality and integrity. Psychedelic, dreamy, sensitive, bitter, and slightly mad, Bejar is pushing the horizons of his own vision, yet his tunesmithery is sharper and more focused than ever.

Entertainment Weekly (p.64) - "[H]is insider snipes at indie-rock pretense show Wildean wit. Yet his rhymes are equally fun for outsiders." -- Grade: B+

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD  (2002)

Destroyer's Rubies album
CD $6.39  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition ...

Arcade Fire Funeral CD  (2004)

Destroyer's Rubies CD music
CD $12.05  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness. Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals ...

Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning CD  (2005)

Destroyer's Rubies music CDs
CD $10.79  4.6 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
In early 2005, young indie icon Conor Oberst (AKA Bright Eyes) unveiled two full-length albums--I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING and DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN. Whereas the latter proved to be a departure into electronic music, the former sticks to Oberst's established sound, which combines the urgency and heart-on-the-sleeve sentiment of emo-rock with twangy, down-home feel of alt-country and folk music. I'M WIDE AWAKE begins with Oberst telling a story that morphs into "At the Bottom of Everything," a jangly, upbeat tune featuring My Morning Jacket's Jim James on backing vocals. Throughout the record, Oberst reaches nearly hysterical peaks, seemingly overcome with ...

On 2007's BOXER, the National's second full-length album for the venerable Beggars Banquet label, the Brooklyn-based indie-rock act follows up the lauded ALLIGATOR with another round of melancholy guitar-driven tunes. Led by deep-voiced vocalist Matt Berninger, who often sounds hung-over yet disarmingly articulate, the band excels at brooding mid-tempo songs, as exemplified by the world-weary ...

Blue
Joni Mitchell Blue CD  (1971)

Destroyer's Rubies songs
CD $8.89  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. BLUE marks the culmination of Mitchell's early, traditional singer/songwriter period, and it is one of the very best albums of that genre. Though she was already beginning to experiment with elements of pop and jazz, BLUE focuses on Mitchell's skill as a folk singer, showcasing her reedy, expressive voice in duet with her piano or guitar. The arrangements on the album--which feature keys, dulcimer, bass, and assorted percussion--are spare and tasteful, so much so that it is easy to overlook their sophistication. Yet it is ultimately Mitchell's songs that make BLUE such a moving and memorable experience. "All I Want" establishes ...

Used to be that any Gary Numan compilation not on Beggars Banquet padded its late-period non-hits with live versions of early-period big hits. Since Numan has recently re-recorded some of the old hits, Here in My Car is a mix of live and re-recorded old hits and "hardcore fans only" new tracks. The darker ...
