Ahead of his show at the Fine Line Music Cafe with Destroyer, Dan Bejar sat down for a chat with host Bill DeVille about his new album Poison Season.

Poison Season, Bejar's ninth studio album as Destroyer, follows the New Pornographer's 2014 release Brill Bruisers. "[Poison Season] has a mood to it that is dark, impacted by the sense of dread by the world at large," says Bejar.

Listen to the full interview to hear Dan Bejar chat about his love for Frank Sinatra and Van Morrison, and his childhood memories of being introduced to music by his grandfather.

Destroyer plays the Fine Line Music Cafe on Saturday, Sept. 26. Some tickets are still available.
