People can get a bit crazy about Vancouver's Dan Bejar, perhaps a bit too crazy. Maybe that's why the New Pornographer and Destroyer is having his latter band's second and thirds albums reissued for the second time in less than a year.
After Nominal Records reissued both City of Daughter and Thief in April of last year, the records, as well as 2001's Streethawk: A Seduction, are getting the same treatment once more by Destroyer's label since 2002, Merge Records.
The records will be released all at once on April 20, and as Merge tells us, "all three releases have been remastered and the CDs will feature shiny new packaging." And, no, sorry, there are no bonus tracks.
City of Daughters and Thief will reissued only on CD, while Streethawk will come on both LP and CD.
The reissued albums are now available for pre-order at the Merge store, including a CD bundle of all three albums.
