i've only discoverd this a couple of days ago,yet the answer for my question is growing to be - yes.
i hope i'm not wrong, cause 2008 needs to be saved by something,at least so far.

90's lo fi sort of, with great,sad songwriting and vocals. Neutral milk hotel and sonic youth meets Bonie prince billy or something like that..

"influence: Destroyer, Simon Joyner, My Bloody Valentine, Leonard Cohen, Sonic Youth, Guided by Voices, Lou Barlow, Galaxie 500"

Some of those are good, and some of those are deterrents. In any case, I'm not really jumping at the chance to hear them.

So the dude sounds like Will Oldham?
Listing Destroyer as ur first influence is badd.

check it out for yrself. he doesnt sound like Oldham,but shares the same atmosphere sometimes.

yeah nah I'm at work, was just wondering :)

That's exactly what I was thinking. This world is already not big enough for one Dan Bejar, much less two of them.

theres something sincere about this music,which i like. anyway, i'm not one of Oldham's big fans , so if it was yet another folky thingy, i wouldnt bother.
and he is not dan bejar as well. (so the backlash against destroyer started?)

try the sum of all the parts mentioned. i def. see 90's lo fi (early pavement,lou barlow,neutral milk) with 80's Galaxie 500/sonic youth.
― Zeno, Monday, 11 February 2008 01:57 (seventeen years ago)
no one seems to care , but this is a truely awesome record.
the Galaxie 500 meets sadcore never sounded better.
