Dirty Projectors - Swing Lo Magellan

NEW VINYL LP ON DOMINO 2012.

With Swing Lo Magellan, David Longstreth shows he really doesn't know how to do the same thing twice. This time, beyond the aughts-era duality of retromania and neophilia, and beyond his band’s reputation for dizzying, heady innovation, Longstreth has found the beautiful, generous simplicity of the heart and soul. Same as it ever was. And this must be exactly the place where he's planted the seeds for his band's finest album to date. Where prior Dirty Projectors' albums investigated 20th-century orchestration (The Getty Address), aerated the aesthetics of '80s hardcore and west African guitar music (Rise Above), and explored complex contrapuntal techniques in human voices (Bitte Orca and Mt Wittenberg Orca), Swing Lo Magellan is a leap forward again. “It’s an album of songs, an album of songwriting,” says Longstreth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Projectors
