Destroyer's Dan Bejar recently treated his Poison Season single "Forces from Above" to a remix from New Pornographers member John Collins (working under the simply wonderful moniker DJ johnedwardcollins@gmail.com). Now, the pair will team up again for a new 12-inch.
"My Mystery" is an outtake from Poison Season and will soon be treated to a standalone 12-inch. The record has the original version on its A-side, complete with a new remix from DJ johnedwardcollins@gmail.com on the flip.
Of the track, Bejar offered the following statement:
We recorded a song called "My Mystery" a year and a half ago. Kind of a light number, vaguely danceable. Wistful, looking back not unfondly on time spent and dull misadventures had within the dead-as-a-doornail music industry. And the feeling of where it leaves you, like a rat in the middle of the ocean, though not as harsh as that; as if rats could swim an ocean's length.
Then one day DJ johnedwardcollins@gmail.com called me up and said, "You got any shit for me?"…
The record will arrive on May 6 via Merge. Until then, you can enjoy a music video for DJ johnedwardcollins@gmail.com's remix below. Destroyer also has a hefty batch of tour dates coming up, all of which are available below.
