Destroyer may be in the middle of their North American tour but that will not stop the Dan Bejar–led outfit from sharing new video from this year’s acclaimed album, Dan’s Boogie. This time, it is for the towering opening track, “The Same Thing as Nothing at All.” The new video follows “Travel Light,” which was released at the beginning of the month.
The video, directed by David Ray, finds Mr. Bejar on a walk through the Canadian wilderness that is hardly as relaxing as its opening seconds would suggest. “As a director of feature-length dramas, I approached this Destroyer video as a narrative in light and colour—letting the palette shift and evolve the way their music does, inspired by their artwork.” said Ray.
The director adds: “It was a true collaboration, drawing on resources and students from Capilano University and blending emerging talent with seasoned professionals. Working with Director of Photography Sean Finan, editor Mauri Bernstein, and colorist Kipp Lightburn (Alter Ego) gave the piece a richness and depth that I think mirrors Destroyer’s sound—cinematic, layered and alive.”
