What’s next for Dan Bejar? After the smash-hit success of Destroyer’s Kaputt last year, will he continue to explore the sax-n-synth stylings of that album or will he take another one of the sonic left turns that he’s become known for? Who knows? But someday, the guy should make a stripped-down album — I’ve always enjoyed his solo performances. This muy excelente WFMU broadcast (from 2002-ish?) isn’t entirely solo (he’s joined by a pianist on a handful of tracks) but it does see Bejar taking some of his best early songs in a spare, skeletal direction. Short but sweet, the eight songs he plays here show that he can shine in almost any format, marrying simple-but-evocative melodies with lyrics that by this point can only be called Bejarian. OK, that’s pretty gross, but you know what I mean.
Aaamazing.
