Watch Destroyer's New Video for "Travel Light"
Briefly

Destroyer released a new video for Dan's Boogie album closer 'Travel Light.' The video is brisk, sparse, and foggy, compiling footage of trucks, rest stops, and late-night locations while Dan Bejar plays piano in a dimly lit room and sings about wanderlust. Bejar and his seven-piece band will tour North America from September 23 in Eugene, Oregon, through October 26 in Vancouver, British Columbia, with select opening dates by Jennifer Castle and Cass McCombs. Bejar performed 'Travel Light' on Everybody's Live With John Mulaney in May with Jessica Pratt joining. Dan's Boogie follows 2022's Labyrinthitis and includes singles 'Hydroplaning Off the Edge of the World,' 'Bologna,' and the eight-minute 'Cataract Time.'
