The 1999 release from Destroyer and first with a full band.
"Thief, Bejar’s third album as Destroyer, finds his songwriting and delivery at its peak. Almost every composition has the air of a timeless classic. Stunningly gorgeous melodies soar within the simply crafted arrangements, as the tracks reveal a heart-wrenching delivery and soul-searching directness...By far one of the best albums, Canadian or otherwise, I’ve heard in ages. Thief is a treasure waiting to be discovered." - Exclaim!
