\u00a0\u201cNo one sounds quite like Dan Bejar\u2014in classic sum-is-greater-than-the-parts fashion, he\u2019s emerged over the past 15 years as one of indie-rock\u2019s most unique and idiosyncratic voices, forging an identity so distinct.\u201d\u00a0 – Pitchfork.com<\/i><\/p>\n
Contemporale\u2019s fourth performance for the 2015-2016 season sees an intense and nimble performances from one of Canada\u2019s most eclectic performers \u2013 Destroyer. Proceeding John Grant\u2019s spine-tingling Contemporale performance in the Chamber Hall, Destroyer will bring his melodic verve and blue-eyed soul sadness to Shanghai on April 17.<\/p>\n
Supporting them in Beijing will be\u00a0Uncle Hu, with cozy, whispery little nostalgia-drenched songs of their own.<\/p>\n
Dan Bejar started Destroyer as a solo home-recording project in the early to mid-nineties. Exploring and overturning genres such as glam, MIDI, yacht rock, and even underground Spanish independent artists, Bejar was proclaimed \u201cRock\u2019s Exiled King\u201d by The Fader. As Destroyer, Bejar has released 10 studio albums and 4 EPs to date, with an eagerly awaited eleventh \u2013 Poison Season<\/i> released in August 2015. No two records sound the same, but they\u2019re always uniquely Destroyer. His is a body of work that consistently flouts convention in favor of musical leaps of faith, statements of purpose cloaked in subterfuge, and the joyous refrain of an optimist\u2019s heart cloaked in cynicism.<\/p>\n
Split Works along with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra looks forward to sharing this, the fourth of six performances, with its audience.<\/p>\n
