Destroyer Returns With Catchy Yet Ominous ‘Tintoretto, It’s For You’

Destroyer Returns With Catchy Yet Ominous ‘Tintoretto, It’s For You’

Destroyer, the experimental rock project by Dan Bejar, released the first song from its forthcoming album, Labyrinthitis, out on March 25 via Merge. “Tintoretto, It’s for You” is propelled by a chilling piano-and-drum arrangement that rises and falls around Bejar’s eerie incantations (“Do you remember the mythic beast?”). The album is available for preorder here.

In the accompanying music video for “Tintoretto,” the mysticism of Bejar’s lyrics is felt in the video direction by David Galloway. The video shows scenes of everyday neighborhood sights, contrasted with moody lighting portray a tone of familiar isolation, reminiscent of early lockdown when the album was written and produced by Bejar and his frequent collaborator, John Collins. 

“I had an idea of writing a couple of lines on the idea of ‘mystery’ and ‘goin nowhere,’ as they are two of my favorite themes,” Bejar said in a statement. “That and the Grim Reaper and being pursued by some silent, unnamable thing that constantly lurks one foot to the left of you. Especially as the world’s decay becomes increasingly less abstract. Also wanted to write on the romance of terror.”

Labyrinthitis is the follow-up to Destroyer’s 2020 album, Have We Met and an accompanying behind-the-scenes tour documentary that Bejar directed. The band has announced a North American tour that will begin this April in Bejar’s hometown of Vancouver.
