Today, Destroyer dropped the music video for June.
The third single is taken from the upcoming album LABYRINTHITIS which is coming out on March 25, 2022 via Merge Records.
The song has a disco-y dance vibe which is out of the norm for Dan Bejar.
About the track:
While Bejar initially envisioned LABYRINTHITIS as a straight dance record (“just like Donna Summer’s greatest hits”), the hurtling coda of “June” explodes that simplicity into a million shining pieces, with Bejar and longtime collaborator John Collins’ initial jam expanding until the edges of the universe run through their fingertips, the band members peeling off in cathartic helixes.
The single, as with many of Bejar’s refrains, dissects the absurd juxtapositions of modern life, its poetics privy to the heinously abstruse entanglement of the beauty and pain of the human condition and the relentless marching of time. He teamed up with co-director Galloway on the video which further explores this idea of monotony vs. exuberance by following a reclusive Bejar and his futuristic delivery driver.
