it is true… entirely in Spanish!
Dan Bejar fronts Destroyer, you will also find him singing on New Pornographers records.
His new ep is called Five Spanish Songs and as the title clearly states, he sing five Spanish songs.
Spin has a quote as to the why; “It felt over for English; good for business transactions, but that’s about it,” he wrote. “The only other language I know is Spanish, and the only Spanish songs I really know are those of Sr. Chinarro, led by Antonio Luque. I’ve been a decades-long fan of how he conducted his affairs, his strange words, his melodies that have always felt so natural (this is important), his bitter songs about painting the light. Something about them, I knew I could do it…”
Go with yourself.
