music: Destroyer - Trouble in dreams


My interpretation of Dan bejar’s music is that of a series of cuts from different movies put together, in such a way that they seem like one huge scene. And he has a frikkin' wiki
His lyrics are poetry. Like Jacques Prevert, he seems to have the ability to pull you into his sometimes colorful world of words, even if you don’t always understand what it’s all about. Libby’s first sunrise, foam hands and specially shooting rockets (couldn't find worthy youtube links, so...) are pearls to be heard over and over again.
Reminds me of: Jacques Prevert Paroles (in French), the Nouvelle Vague movement, specially certain scenes from "À bout de souffle"... go figure... 
9/10 One of my favourites
