Destroyer has released “Cataract Time,” the track is off Destroyer’s forthcoming album Dan’s Boogie and features long time collaborator/producer John Collins, who also serves as the director of the song’s visualizer. Along with the new music, Destroyer is announcing a full-band tour of North America, which will feature the live debut of tracks from Dan’s Boogie, along with additional UK and European dates.

“Cataract Time” serves as the centerpiece of Bejar and Collins’ approach to shaping the sound of Dan’s Boogie, revealing new facets to the long-time collaborators’ approach to the sonic and emotional landscape of a Destroyer song. It features some of the heaviest lyrics Dan Bejar has written, and one of Destroyer’s most musically intricate compositions. The deceptively easygoing groove transfigures the fog swirling around Bejar, his melancholy sounding, at times, like hope.

Dan Bejar on “Cataract Time”:

The song is a reckoning, a dressing down, a walk in the park where you carefully record your steps and describe the park and somehow the recording and the description undoes you. Which is why it’s important that the song be as groovy as it is. That part I didn’t see coming. There is a lightness that points to a future, even if I think it’s the heaviest thing I’ve ever written. John outdid himself in the mix. His filigree harps changed everything. I think it is his favourite song on the record.
