Dan Bejar proves he’s still a master of soundscapes and charm on his 14th studio album. Narrating grand, ethereal instrumentals with his usual tongue-in-cheek wit, he embarks on an epic that is equal parts existential and amusing. While it’s often difficult to locate the sentiments behind his stream of consciousness, he always provides calm—often humorous—introspection. If time’s unpredictable and fleeting nature is an unconquerable fear, Dan’s Boogie reminds us not to take it too seriously.
