Destroyer has unveiled “Cataract Time,” a balletic and dreamy epic that showcases Dan Bejar’s signature style while pushing into new sonic territory. The single, crafted alongside longtime collaborator John Collins, serves as a centerpiece of Destroyer’s upcoming album Dan’s Boogie, set for release on March 28.

Accompanying the new track, Destroyer has announced a North American tour, marking the band’s first full-band run in nearly three years. Fans can expect live debuts of songs from Dan’s Boogie alongside a selection of Destroyer’s extensive catalog. Tickets for the newly announced fall dates go on sale Friday, March 7, at 10 AM local time.

Bejar describes “Cataract Time” as both weighty and unexpectedly light, a song that unfolds in layers. “The song is a reckoning, a dressing down, a walk in the park where you carefully record your steps and describe the park, and somehow the recording and the description undo you,” he explains. “Which is why it’s important that the song be as groovy as it is. That part I didn’t see coming. There is a lightness that points to a future, even if I think it’s the heaviest thing I’ve ever written. John outdid himself in the mix. His filigree harps changed everything. I think it is his favorite song on the record.”
