Destroyer announces solo tour, promises to tour again in 2015 assuming we get to that year

Let’s be honest: we never expected to get this far into the future. At this very moment, it’s 2013. That cannot be right, but it is. Had you been on Family Feud 20 years ago and were asked, “Name the last year there shall ever be,” you’d probably say 2003. Sixty people also said 2003, then you and your family celebrated, partly because of your answer, partly because you only had 10 more years to do so. People assumed that the world was going to end in 2012, presumably because they couldn’t even imagine a two-thousand-thirteen. So when Dan Bejar of Destroyer announces a solo tour and says he won’t tour again until 2015, you have to wonder if these will be the last chances to see Destroyer ever. See you in 2015, Dan, if we can even see anyone or anything.

Until then, Bejar is playing a number of solo dates in November of 2013 (still doesn’t quite sound right, but okay). This upcoming tour is billed to feature songs from Destroyer’s entire catalog, as well as possibly including a few brand new ones. The last time anyone heard any new songs from Destroyer was when Kaputt came out (TMT Review), way back in the simpler times of 2011. Considering the whole no-more-touring-until-2015 thing, we can only assume that there will not be a new Destroyer record until 2015 or maybe late 2014. As such, you should probably go to these shows so you can hear new Destroyer while we’re still here.
