Bleep

Beguiling simplicity from Dirty Projectors with their sixth highly anticipated studio album. In contrast to previous works, ‘Swing Lo Magellan’ stakes its claim with twelve tracks of in-depth songcraft – familiar visions of American music come pulled and prodded with levels of dissonance and broken walls of vocal harmonising until they manifest something altogether more otherworldly. As ever, David Longstreth and his band showcase their bountiful imagination by peeling off the layers of their folky serenity to reveal music that is clever through-and-through.
