Dan Bejar, better known as Destroyer, is no stranger to high-profile side projects. The sometime-New Pornographers vocalist, Swan Lake collaborator, and all-around Renaissance man of Canadian music has found himself in the news again recently with the announcement of the forthcoming debut album from Hello, Blue Roses. Hello, Blue Roses combines the talents of Bejar and his girlfriend, Bonaparte vocalist Sydney Vermont. Their self-titled debut album is due out January 22nd, courtesy of Locust Records, but the first teaser has already surfaced, entitled "Shadow Falls." The track's sound is far from the preciousness that the boyfriend/girlfriend band concept usually signfies (think Mates of State), instead opting for atmospherics created by interlocking vocals and a sparse electronic arrangement. As always, Bejar is able to adapt his vocals powerfully to the mood of the song, but it's Vermont who really steals the show. Look for her to become the breakout star of this project.
