Suirmer Hymns. Destroyer
Ultramod Compound
Athens pop ensemble Summer Hymns has been out
on tour behind the critically lauded new album. A
Celebratory Arm Gesture. The swirling collection was
recently released on the burgeoning, Manhattan-based
Misra Records label, an adventurous indie run by former
Athenian and music provocateur Phil Waldorf.
The slightly psychedelic Athens pop-rock band formed
in 1997 under the tutelage of singer-guitarist Zach
Gresham and drummer Philip Brown (both of Joe
Christmas). The line-up has included members of Masters
Of The Hemisphere. Of Montreal. Elf Power and other E6
gangs. Flagpole s Emerson Dameron described A
Celebratory Arm Gesture as "cerebral pop music."
Misra also released a psychedelically-poppy 12-song album from the Vancouver-based quintet
Destroyer titled Streethawk: A Seduction. Destroyer is fronted by song craftsman A Daniel Bejar,
a tall Canadian influenced by the likes of Bowie, Eno and The Fall who recently contributed to
the recent New Pornographers’ album. Mass Romantic (Mint) "While Destroyer pays a debt to
classic sounds. Bejar's talent shines brightest in his overtly literary lyrics," says Phil Waldorf. "His
words spill out like poetry... sometimes the message is unmistakable, other times it's hidden in
twisted vines of allegory." (BL]
