This is a reissue of Destroyer's 2008 release, available worldwide on Merge for the first time. This release cements Vancouver, BC's Dan Bejar as an artist as quirky and enigmatic as David Bowie, as symphonic and grandiose as Scott Walker, and as quixotically literary as Bob Dylan. A collection of songs that is fresh and confounding, yet befitting the Destroyer canon. "Of all contemporary songwriters, he's been the biggest influence and inspiration. Because he is pretentious, but in a way that makes it into a game where we all get to pretend to be so grand" - Okkervil River's Will Sheff. Tracks: Blue Flower/Blue Flame, Dark Leaves Form a Thread, The State, Foam Hands, My Favorite Year, Shooting Rockets (From the Desk of Night's Ape), Introducing Angels, Rivers, Leopard of Honor, Plaza Trinidad, Libby's First Sunrise
